Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Two: Love 4. Elysium is as far as to

SUSPENSE.


Elysium is as far as to

The very nearest room,

If in that room a friend await

Felicity or doom.


What fortitude the soul contains,

That it can so endure

The accent of a coming foot,

The opening of a door!
