Emily Dickinson (1830-86)



I started Early - Took my Dog



And visited the Sea



The Mermaids in the Basement



Came out to look at me



And Frigates - in the Upper Floor



Extended Hempen Hands



Presuming Me to be a Mouse



Aground - upon the Sands 



But no Man moved Me - till the Tide



Went past my simple Shoe



And past my Apron - and my Belt



And past my Bodice - too



And made as He would eat me up



As wholly as a Dew



Upon a Dandelion's Sleeve



And then - I started - too



And He - He followed - close behind



I felt His Silver Heel



Upon my Ankle - Then my Shoes



Would overflow with Pearl



Until We met the Solid Town



No One He seemed to know



And bowing - with a Mighty look



At me - The Sea withdrew
