Expanse cannot be lost --

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)61 words

Expanse cannot be lost --

Not Joy, but a Decree

Is Deity --

His Scene, Infinity --

Whose rumor's Gate was shut so tight

Before my Beam was sown,

Not even a Prognostic's push

Could make a Dent thereon --

The World that thou hast opened

Shuts for thee,

But not alone,

We all have followed thee --

Escape more slowly

To thy Tracts of Sheen --

The Tent is listening,

But the Troops are gone!
