Lyric Poem · Peace

Nature and God—I neither knew

by Emily Dickinson

Nature and God — I neither knew

Yet Both so well knew me

They startled, like Executors

Of My identity.

Yet Neither told — that I could learn —

My Secret as secure

As Herschel's private interest

Or Mercury's affair —

This poem is in the public domain.
