NPR reminded me of Emily Dickinson this morning. Not being a huge fan of rhyme time poetry, she’s an exception for me. Maybe for you, too?
God Gave A Loaf to Every Bird
God gave a Loaf to every Bird—
But just a Crumb—to Me—
I dare not eat it—tho’ I starve—
NPR reminded me of Emily Dickinson this morning. Not being a huge fan of rhyme time poetry, she’s an exception for me. Maybe for you, too?
God Gave A Loaf to Every Bird
God gave a Loaf to every Bird—
But just a Crumb—to Me—
I dare not eat it—tho’ I starve—
My poignant luxury—To own it—touch it—
Prove the feat—that made the Pellet mine—
Too happy—for my Sparrow’s chance—
For Ampler Coveting—It might be Famine—all around—
I could not miss an Ear—
Such Plenty smiles upon my Board—
My Garner shows so fair—I wonder how the Rich—may feel—
An Indiaman—An Earl—
I deem that I—with but a Crumb—
Am Sovereign of them all—
