Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 89. Given in marriage unto thee

Given in marriage unto thee,

Oh, thou celestial host!

Bride of the Father and the Son,

Bride of the Holy Ghost!


Other betrothal shall dissolve,

Wedlock of will decay;

Only the keeper of this seal

Conquers mortality.
