Emily Dickinson

Here you will find the Poem A transport one cannot contain of poet Emily Dickinson

A transport one cannot contain

184

A transport one cannot contain
May yet a transport be—
Though God forbid it lift the lid—
Unto its Ecstasy!

A Diagram—of Rapture!
A sixpence at a Show—
With Holy Ghosts in Cages!
The Universe would go!
