Ah, Moon—and Star! Poem by Emily Dickinson
Ah, Moon—and Star!
240
Ah, Moon—and Star!
You are very far—
But were no one
Farther than you—
Do you think I'd stop
For a Firmament—
Or a Cubit—or so?
I could borrow a Bonnet
Of the Lark—
And a Chamois' Silver Boot—
And a stirrup of an Antelope—
And be with you—Tonight!
But, Moon, and Star,
Though you're very far—
There is one—farther than you—
He—is more than a firmament—from Me—
So I can never go!
Here a star-gazing lover contemplates the great gulf between herself and her beloved.
What a wonderful write Emily....simple, short and sweet...none can ever surpass you...you are the poetry goddess- 10+++++
