Emily Dickinson
10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts
My Nosegays Are For Captives;
LIKE THIS POEM
My nosegays are for captives;
Dim, long-expectant eyes,
Fingers denied the plucking,
Patient till paradise.
To such, if they should whisper
Of morning and the moor,
They bear no other errand,
And I, no other prayer.
