This is a Blossom of the Brain -- by Emily Dickinson
This is a Blossom of the Brain -- A small -- italic Seed Lodged by Design or Happening The Spirit fructified --
Shy as the Wind of his Chambers Swift as a Freshet's Tongue So of the Flower of the Soul Its process is unknown.
When it is found, a few rejoice The Wise convey it Home Carefully cherishing the spot If other Flower become.
When it is lost, that Day shall be The Funeral of God, Upon his Breast, a closing Soul The Flower of our Lord.
