EMILY DICKINSON POETRY

One sister I have in our house:
One sister have I in our house, and one, a hedge away. There's only one recorded, but both belong to me. One came the road that I came and wore my last year's gown. The other, as a bird her nest, Builded our hearts among. She did not sing as we did it was a different tune, Herself to her a music As a bumble bee in June. Today is far from childhood but up and down the hills I held her hand the tighter which shortened all the miles, And still her hum The years among, Deceives the butterfly; Still in her eye The violetas lié, Mouldered this many may. I split the dew but took the morn, I chose this single star From out the wind night's numbers …
