Emily Dickinson Collection

Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine,

Unwind the solemn twine, and tie my Valentine!



Oh the Earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain,

For sighing, and gentle whispering, and unity made of twain.

All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air,

God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair!
