Lyric Poem · Peace

Take your Heaven further on

by Emily Dickinson

Take your Heaven further on —

This — to Heaven divine Has gone —

Had You earlier blundered in

Possibly, e'en You had seen

An Eternity — put on —

Now — to ring a Door beyond

Is the utmost of Your Hand —

To the Skies — apologize —

Nearer to Your Courtesies

Than this Sufferer polite —

Dressed to meet You —

See — in White!
