A poem by Emily Dickinson

Numen Lumen

________________________________________________
Title:     Numen Lumen
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I live with him, I see his face;
I go no more away
For visitor, or sundown;
Death's single privacy,

The only one forestalling mine,
And that by right that he
Presents a claim invisible,
No wedlock granted me.

I live with him, I hear his voice,
I stand alive to-day
To witness to the certainty
Of immortality

Taught me by Time, -- the lower way,
Conviction every day, --
That life like this is endless,
Be judgment what it may.


[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Numen Lumen
