Emily Dickenson Cento

The Soul has Bandaged moments- (512)

And do I smile such cordial light (754)

Is traversing the interval (822)

Attended by a single Hound (822)

Like Sailors fighting with a leak (1136)

Untouched by Morning – (216)

Stealthy Cocoon, why hide you so (129)

Her Sweet turn to leave the Homestead (649)

Never Bride had such an assembling (649)

Twice had summer her fair Verdure (846)

All days I did not earn the same (843)

Good to hide and hear ‘em hunt! (842)

Not so the infinite Relations – Below (1040)

Nature rarer uses Yellow (1045)

Like Time’s insidious wrinkle (1236)

And I affronted grew (1237)

‘Tis to another’s sea – (1234)

Alighting at the Dwelling (1319)

Upon an Ether street. (1053)

The soul should always stand ajar (1055)

No Solstice interrupt – (1056)

Too cold is this (1135)

To seduce the Sun (648)

To One denied to drink (490)

An unpretending time (488)

Without the privilege to know (404)

It doesn’t state you how (353)

I take- no less than skies (352)

And through a Riddle, at the last – (501)

Whose spokes a dizzy Music make (500)

It’s mostly interruptions – (403)

Some – work for immortality – (406)

To perish – of Delight – (405)

‘Tis Opposites – entice – (355)

A Wonder if the Sepulchre (529)

Exultation is the going (76)

A Lady red – amid the Hill (74)

The embers of a Thousand Years (1383)

The Doom to be adored – (1386)

Goes nor comes away (1385)

The stem of a departed flower (1520)

And that’s he way to grieve – (1521)

No Autumn’s intercepting Chill (1516)

Seductive in the Air – (1239)

But let not Revelation (1241)

By force of it’s Result – (951)

Was steady as the Sun (843)

I measure every Grief I meet (561)

I had no time to Hate – (478)

You cannot put a Fire out – (530)

Of Chambers as the Cedars - (657)

And They - appointed Creatures- (658)

Upon Vermillion Wheels – (656)

Conscious am I in my Chamber, (679)

Soil of Flint, if steady tiled – (681)

Only a Shrine, but Mine – (918)

Writing much to thee. (921)

Those who have been in the Grave the longest – (922)

Thou knowest, though, so Why tell thee? (918)

Defrauded I a Butterfly – (730)

If He were living-dare I ask- (734)

To know just how He suffered-would be dear- (622)

We dream – it is good we are dreaming – (531)

Of nearness to her sundered Things (607)

Musicians wrestle everywhere- (157)

Just lost, when I was saved! (160)

On this long storm the Rainbow rose – (194)

You see I cannot see – your lifetime – (253)

Delight is at the flight- -(257)

The Angles – softly peered – (256)

“Hope” is the thing with feathers – (254)

Teasing the want – (253)

They looked like frightened Beads, I thought – (328)

Drop spicy to the grounds – (332)

The first Day’s Night had come – (410)

Whose invitation – Yours reduced (464)

I heard a fly buzz-when I died- (465)

Unto supremest name – (508)

Crowned – Crowing – On my Father’s breast – (508)

And when We turned to not the Growth – (567)

Weariness of Him were quainter (679)

The Bird must sing to earn the Crumb (880)

The Poets light but Lamps – (883)

The Beauty that reward Him best – (968)

A Dinner for a Bee (1154)

“Was not” was all the Statement. (1342)

A Cloud withdrew from the Sky (895)

How happy I was if I could forget (898)

Herein a Blossom lies – (899)
