The night n'er knew her face- br She would retire afore the sun set- br In the early twiglight hours- br Wrapped herself tightly in velvet coverlet- br br Beauty sleep was her aim- br A resting of her most beautiful soul- br And a deep withdrawl from- br The Ebon's sometimes too cold- br br She had not one mean thought- br Her character honest and true- br A vision with her beloved God- br 'Twas all that she ever knew- br br Daylight hours she embraced- br The Butterfly and Bee- br Caressed- she- the garden Lillies- br Natures keeping 'twas her ability- br br She ne'r knew a person- br That she did not revere- br An honor bestowed upon each one- br Always in her heart held near- br br Amherst-it was truly blessed- br Though at the time so unaware- br That they had such a gifted poet- br Living and loving the sod-right there! br br In Honor of: Emily Dickinsonbr br Theodora (Theo) Onkenbr br
