Emily Dickinson

Life XLI. the soul unto itself (683)

Part One: Life

 
                    XLI
 
THE soul unto itself
Is an imperial friend,—
Or the most agonizing spy
An enemy could send.
 
Secure against its own,
No treason it can fear;
Itself its sovereign, of itself
The soul should stand in awe.
