Lyric Poem · Peace

If I'm lost—now

by Emily Dickinson

If I'm lost — now

That I was found —

Shall still my transport be —

That once — on me — those Jasper Gates

Blazed open — suddenly —

That in my awkward — gazing — face —

The Angels — softly peered —

And touched me with their fleeces,

Almost as if they cared —

I'm banished — now — you know it —

How foreign that can be —

You'll know — Sir — when the Savior's face

Turns so — away from you —
