Dickinson, Emily: (Bound — a trouble —)

Portre of Dickinson, Emily

(Bound — a trouble —) (English)

Bound — a trouble —
And lives can bear it!
Limit — how deep a bleeding go!
So — many — drops — of vital scarlet —
Deal with the soul
As with Algebra!

Tell it the Ages — to a cypher —
And it will ache — contented — on —
Sing — at its pain — as any Workman —
Notching the fall of the Even Sun!
  
   
   Szövegváltozat:
   
   
Bound a Trouble — and lives will bear it!
Circumscription — enables Woe —
Still to anticipate — Were not limit —
Who were sufficient to Misery?

State it the Ages — to a cipher —
And it will ache contented on —
Sing at its pain, as any Workman —
Notching the fall of the even Sun —
   
   
   
(1861 körül)
