Emily Dickinson - I started Early - Took my Dog

Emily Dickinson - I started Early - Took my Dog

I started Early - Took my Dog - br And visited the Sea - br The Mermaids in the Basement br Came out to look at me - br br And Frigates - in the Upper Floor br Extended Hempen Hands - br Presuming Me to be a Mouse - br Aground - upon the Sands - br br But no Man moved Me - till the Tide br Went past my simple Shoe - br And past my Apron - and my Belt br And past my Bodice - too - br br And made as He would eat me up - br As wholly as a Dew br Upon a Dandelion's Sleeve - br And then - I started - too - br br And He - He followed - close behind - br I felt His Silver Heel br Upon my Ankle - Then my Shoes br Would overflow with Pearl - br br Until We met the Solid Town - br No One He seemed to know - br And bowing - with a Mighty look - br At me - The Sea withdrew -br br Emily Dickinsonbr br
