The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
121

As Watchers hang upon the East,
As Beggars revel at a feast
By savory Fancy spreadβ€”
As brooks in deserts babble sweet
On ear too far for the delight,
Heaven beguiles the tired.

As that same watcher, when the East
Opens the lid of Amethyst
And lets the morning goβ€”
That Beggar, when an honored Guest,
Those thirsty lips to flagons pressed,
Heaven to us, if true.
