Emily Dickinson
My wheel is in the dark
My wheel is in the dark!
I cannot see a spoke
Yet know its dripping feet
Go round and round

My foot is on the Tide!
An unfrequented road
Yet have all roads
A clearing at the end

Some have resigned the Loom
Some in the busy tomb
Find quaint employ

Some with new—stately feet
Pass royal through the gate
Flinging the problem back
At you and I!
