Except To Heaven, She Is Nought

Title:     Except To Heaven, She Is Nought
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Except to heaven, she is nought;
Except for angels, lone;
Except to some wide-wandering bee,
A flower superfluous blown;

Except for winds, provincial;
Except by butterflies,
Unnoticed as a single dew
That on the acre lies.

The smallest housewife in the grass,
Yet take her from the lawn,
And somebody has lost the face
That made existence home!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Except To Heaven, She Is Nought
