We Play At Paste

Title:     We Play At Paste
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

We play at paste,
Till qualified for pearl,
Then drop the paste,
And deem ourself a fool.
The shapes, though, were similar,
And our new hands
Learned gem-tactics
Practising sands.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: We Play At Paste
