If I'm lost -- now

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)76 words

If I'm lost -- now

That I was found --

Shall still my transport be --

That once -- on me -- those Jasper Gates

Blazed open -- suddenly --

That in my awkward -- gazing -- face --

The Angels -- softly peered --

And touched me with their fleeces,

Almost as if they cared --

I'm banished -- now -- you know it --

How foreign that can be --

You'll know -- Sir -- when the Savior's face

Turns so -- away from you --

Best Used In
