Lyric Poem · Peace

Take your Heaven further on

by Emily Dickinson

1Take your Heaven further on —

2This — to Heaven divine Has gone —

3Had You earlier blundered in

4Possibly, e'en You had seen

5An Eternity — put on —

6Now — to ring a Door beyond

7Is the utmost of Your Hand —

8To the Skies — apologize —

9Nearer to Your Courtesies

10Than this Sufferer polite —

11Dressed to meet You —

12See — in White!
