Bequest

II. BEQUEST.

You left me, sweet, two legacies, — A legacy of love A Heavenly Father would content, Had He the offer of ; You left me boundaries of pain Capacious as the sea, Between eternity and time, Your consciousness and me.

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
Mine	"Alter? When the hills do"
