Growth of Man -- like Growth of Nature --

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)67 words

Growth of Man -- like Growth of Nature --

Gravitates within --

Atmosphere, and Sun endorse it --

Bit it stir -- alone --

Each -- its difficult Ideal

Must achieve -- Itself --

Through the solitary prowess

Of a Silent Life --

Effort -- is the sole condition --

Patience of Itself --

Patience of opposing forces --

And intact Belief --

Looking on -- is the Department

Of its Audience --

But Transaction -- is assisted

By no Countenance --

Best Used In
