“Without this – there is nought –” by Emily Dickinson

“Without this – there is nought –” by Emily Dickinson

Without this — there is nought —

All other Riches be

As is the Twitter of a Bird —

Heard opposite the Sea —

I could not care — to gain

A lesser than the Whole —

For did not this include themself —

As Seams — include the Ball?

I wished a way might be

My Heart to subdivide —

'Twould magnify — the Gratitude —

And not reduce — the Gold —

xx Atticus
