It Knew No Medicine, par Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

It Knew No Medicine

559

It knew no Medicine—

It was not Sickness—then—

Nor any need of Surgery—

And therefore—'twas not Pain—

It moved away the Cheeks—

A Dimple at a time—

And left the Profile—plainer—

And in the place of Bloom

It left the little Tint

That never had a Name—

You’ve seen it on a Cast’s face—

Was Paradise—to blame—

If momently ajar—

Temerity—drew near—

And sickened—ever afterward

For Somewhat that it saw?
