The Bible is an antique Volume -- by Emily Dickinson
The Bible is an antique Volume -- Written by faded men At the suggestion of Holy Spectres -- Subjects -- Bethlehem -- Eden -- the ancient Homestead -- Satan -- the Brigadier -- Judas -- the Great Defaulter -- David -- the Troubador -- Sin -- a distinguished Precipice Others must resist -- Boys that "believe" are very lonesome -- Other Boys are "lost" -- Had but the Tale a warbling Teller -- All the Boys would come -- Orpheus' Sermon captivated -- It did not condemn --
