Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 138. Far from love the Heavenly Father

Far from love the Heavenly Father

Leads the chosen child;

Oftener through realm of briar

Than the meadow mild,


Oftener by the claw of dragon

Than the hand of friend,

Guides the little one predestined

To the native land.
