Lyric Poem · Peace

Just so—Jesus—raps

by Emily Dickinson

Just so — Jesus — raps —

He — doesn't weary —

Last — at the Knocker —

And first — at the Bell.

Then — on divinest tiptoe — standing —

Might He but spy the lady's soul —

When He — retires —

Chilled — or weary —

It will be ample time for — me —

Patient — upon the steps — until then —

Hears! I am knocking — low at thee.
