GOING TO HEAVEN!
by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
OING to heaven! - I don't know when,
- Pray do not ask me how,--
- Indeed, I'm too astonished
- To think of answering you!
- Going to heaven!--
- How dim it sounds!
- And yet it will be done
- As sure as flocks go home at night
- Unto the shepherd's arm!
-
- Perhaps you're going too!
- Who knows?
- If you should get there first,
- Save just a little place for me
- Close to the two I lost!
- The smallest "robe" will fit me,
- And just a bit of "crown";
- For you know we do not mind our dress
- When we are going home.
-
- I'm glad I don't believe it,
- For it would stop my breath,
- And I'd like to look a little more
- At such a curious earth!
- I am glad they did believe it
- Whom I have never found
- Since the mighty autumn afternoon
- I left them in the ground.
