He Touched Me, So I Live To Know

Title:     He Touched Me, So I Live To Know
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

He touched me, so I live to know
That such a day, permitted so,
I groped upon his breast.
It was a boundless place to me,
And silenced, as the awful sea
Puts minor streams to rest.

And now, I'm different from before,
As if I breathed superior air,
Or brushed a royal gown;
My feet, too, that had wandered so,
My gypsy face transfigured now
To tenderer renown.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: He Touched Me, So I Live To Know
