Ah, Moon -- and Star!

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)78 words

Ah, Moon -- and Star!

You are very far --

But were no one

Farther than you --

Do you think I'd stop

For a Firmament --

Or a Cubit -- or so?

I could borrow a Bonnet

Of the Lark --

And a Chamois' Silver Boot --

And a stirrup of an Antelope --

And be with you -- Tonight!

But, Moon, and Star,

Though you're very far --

There is one -- farther than you --

He -- is more than a firmament -- from Me --

So I can never go!
