Dickinson/Higginson Correspondence: Poem 1257

poems sent from dickinson to higginson

Dominion lasts until obtained -
Possession just as long -
But these - endowing as they flit
Eternally belong.

How everlasting are the Lips
Known only to the Dew -
These are the Brides of permanence
Supplanting me and you
