This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me –
The simple News that Nature told –
With tender majesty
Her message is committed
To Hands I cannot see –
For Love of Her – Sweet Countrymen
Judge tenderly – of Me
Her Poets shall not be Pfforced –
To prove their wings – must rise
Yet guilty once – they show –
They shall be slow and wise!
- Emily Dickinson
