Dickinson/Higginson Correspondence: Poem 1249

poems sent from dickinson to higginson

The Stars are old, that stood for me -
The West a little worn -
Yet newer glows the only Gold
I ever cared to earn -
Presuming on that lone result
Her infinite disdain
But vanquished her with my defeat
'Twas Victory was slain.
