"I shall know why when time is over"

XXXIX.

I shall know why, when time is over, And I have ceased to wonder why ; Christ will explain each separate anguish In the fair schoolroom of the sky. He will tell me what Peter promised, And I, for wonder at his woe, I shall forget the drop of anguish That scalds me now, that scalds me now.

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
"Sleep is supposed to be"	"I never lost as much but twice"
