The Moon Is Distant From The Sea

Title:     The Moon Is Distant From The Sea
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The moon is distant from the sea,
And yet with amber hands
She leads him, docile as a boy,
Along appointed sands.

He never misses a degree;
Obedient to her eye,
He comes just so far toward the town,
Just so far goes away.

Oh, Signor, thine the amber hand,
And mine the distant sea, --
Obedient to the least command
Thine eyes impose on me.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Moon Is Distant From The Sea
