A poem by Emily Dickinson

Power

________________________________________________
Title:     Power
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

You cannot put a fire out;
A thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a fan
Upon the slowest night.

You cannot fold a flood
And put it in a drawer, --
Because the winds would find it out,
And tell your cedar floor.








[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Power
