Emily Dickinson Before I Got My Eye Put Out

Текст песни "Emily Dickinson — Before I Got My Eye Put Out"

Before I got my eye put out
I liked as well to see
As other Creatures, that have Eyes
And know no other way

But were it told to meToday
That I might have the sky
For mineI tell you that my Heart
Would split, for size of me

The Meadowsmine
The Mountainsmine
All ForestsStintless Stars
As much of Noon as I could take
Between my finite eyes

The Motions of the Dipping Birds
The Morning's Amber Road
For mineto look at when I liked
The News would strike me dead

So saferguesswith just my soul
Upon the Window pane
Where other Creatures put their eyes
Incautiousof the Sun
