Desire

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

Who never wanted, -- maddest joy
Remains to him unknown:
The banquet of abstemiousness
Surpasses that of wine.

Within its hope, though yet ungrasped
Desire's perfect goal,
No nearer, lest reality
Should disenthrall thy soul.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Desire
