Apocalypse

XVI. APOCALYPSE.

I'm wife ;  I've finished that, That other state ; I'm Czar, I'm woman now : It's safer so. How odd the girl's life looks Behind this soft eclipse ! I think that earth seems so To those in heaven now. This being comfort, then That other kind was pain ; But why compare ? I'm wife !  stop there !

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
Resurrection	The Wife
