Emily Dickinson

Life XII. I asked no other thing (621)

Part One: Life

 
                    XII
 
I ASKED no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.
Brazil? He twirled a button,
Without a glance my way:
“But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to—day?”
