She went as quiet as the Dew
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
She went as quiet as the Dew
From an Accustomed flower.
Not like the Dew, did she return
At the Accustomed hour!
She dropt as softly as a star
From out my summer's Eve—
Less skillful than Le Verriere
It's sorer to believe!
