Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part One: Life 120. I had a daily bliss

LOST JOY.


I had a daily bliss

I half indifferent viewed,

Till sudden I perceived it stir, --

It grew as I pursued,


Till when, around a crag,

It wasted from my sight,

Enlarged beyond my utmost scope,

I learned its sweetness right.
