Lyric Poem · Peace

I went to Heaven

by Emily Dickinson

I went to Heaven —

'Twas a small Town —

Lit — with a Ruby —

Lathed — with Down —

Stiller — than the fields

At the full Dew —

Beautiful — as Pictures —

No Man drew.

People — like the Moth —

Of Mechlin — frames —

Duties — of Gossamer —

And Eider — names —

Almost — contented —

I — could be —

'Mong such unique

Society —
