637 The Child’s faith is new— Whole—like His Principle— Wide—like the Sunrise On fresh Eyes— Never had a Doubt— Laughs—at a Scruple— Believes all sham But Paradise— Credits the World— Deems His Dominion Broadest of Sovereignties— And Caesar—mean— In the Comparison— Baseless Emperor— Ruler of Nought— Yet swaying all— Grown bye and bye To hold mistaken His pretty estimates Of Prickly Things He gains the skill Sorrowful—as certain— Men—to anticipate Instead of Kings—

The Child’s faith is new
637 The Child’s faith is new— Whole—like His Principle— Wide—like the Sunrise On fresh Eyes— Never had a Doubt— Laughs—at a Scruple— Believes all sham But Paradise— Credits the World— Deems His Dominion Broadest of Sovereignties— And Caesar—mean— In the Comparison— Baseless Emperor— Ruler of Nought— Yet swaying all— Grown bye and bye To hold mistaken His pretty estimates Of Prickly Things He gains the skill Sorrowful—as certain— Men—to anticipate Instead of Kings—
Emily Dickinson
1830 - 1886/Female/American
