Only a Shrine, but Mine -- by Emily Dickinson
Only a Shrine, but Mine -- I made the Taper shine -- Madonna dim, to whom all Feet may come, Regard a Nun --
Thou knowest every Woe -- Needless to tell thee -- so -- But can'st thou do The Grace next to it -- heal? That looks a harder skill to us -- Still -- just as easy, if it be thy Will To thee -- Grant me -- Thou knowest, though, so Why tell thee?
