Emily Dickinson

The Only News I Know

827
 
The Only News I know
Is Bulletins all Day
From Immortality.
 
The Only Shows I see—
Tomorrow and Today—
Perchance Eternity—
 
The Only One I meet
Is God—The Only Street—
Existence—This traversed
 
If Other News there be—
Or Admirable Show—
I’ll tell it You—
