The Shelter

Title:     The Shelter
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The body grows outside, --
The more convenient way, --
That if the spirit like to hide,
Its temple stands alway

Ajar, secure, inviting;
It never did betray
The soul that asked its shelter
In timid honesty.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Shelter
