Dickinson/Higginson Correspondence: Poem 1205

poems sent from dickinson to higginson

Immortal is an ample word
When what we need is by
But when it leaves us for a time
'Tis a nescessity.

Of Heaven above the firmest proof
We fundamental know
Except for it's marauding Hand
It had been Heaven below.
