F1.2.9 Fascicle one Sheet two Stanza 9)
From Emily Dickinson’s Poems As She Preserved Them. Edited by Christine Miller
As if I asked a common alms -
And in my wondering hand,
A stranger pressed a kingdom -
And I - bewildered stand -
As if I asked the Orient Had it for me a morn?
And it sh'd lift its purple dikes
And flood me with the Dawn!
好像我要求一場尋常的施舍似的 -
但在我期待的手中,
一個陌生人賜予了個王國 -
讓我- 瞪目結舌 -
好像我要求東方神明賜我一個清晨?
而她打開了紫色堤壩
用黎明的晨光湮沒了我!
