Not any more to be lacked —
by Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) English
Not any more to be lacked —
Not any more to be known —
Denizen of Significance
For a span so worn —
Even Nature herself
Has forgot it is there —
Sedulous of her Multitudes
Notwithstanding Despair —
Of the Ones that pursued it
Suing it not to go
Some have solaced the longing
To accompany —
Some — rescinded the Wrench —
Others — Shall I say
Plated the residue of Adz
With Monotony.

There came a Wind like a Bugle —
It quivered through the Grass
And a Green Chill upon the Heat …
