Emily Dickinson
You see I cannot see—your lifetime
253

You see I cannot see—your lifetime
I must guess
How many times it ache for me—today—Confess
How many times for my far sake
The brave eyes film
But I guess guessing hurts
Mine—got so dim!

Too vague—the face
My own—so patient—covers
Too far—the strength
My timidness enfolds
Haunting the Heart
Like her translated faces
Teasing the want
It—only—can suffice!
