A Haggard Comfort springs
from the room--
as one might harvest
from a poem.

While you--dainty,
unspoiled, in your white
unworldliness,
spout those words--penned,
and immortal.

And I--denied by time,
yet still, trying--grasping--
Why one has to endure
such fate Heaven bestowed.

Who would have intuited
Thy art could bring peace
to one other Creature
of Heavenly Love--forgot--?

But forgotten--
Emily, you never shall be.

I strove to clasp His Hand,
my wish, my hope, be granted
Grant thee, Emily--joy
all things beautiful deserve it.

i believe Emily has this family name: Dickinson. Still one of my favorite poets.

She should be an inspiration to us all. Only sad that she never realized the full extents of her talents. A lovely tribute.
