Proof
by Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) English
That I did always love,
I bring thee proof :
That till I loved
I did not love enough.
That I shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.
This, dost thou doubt, sweet ?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvary.

It quivered through the Grass
And a Green Chill upon the Heat …
