Reticence

Title:     Reticence
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The reticent volcano keeps
His never slumbering plan;
Confided are his projects pink
To no precarious man.

If nature will not tell the tale
Jehovah told to her,
Can human nature not survive
Without a listener?

Admonished by her buckled lips
Let every babbler be.
The only secret people keep
Is Immortality.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Reticence
