Emily Dickinson

We Learned the Whole of Love

568
 
We learned the Whole of Love—
The Alphabet—the Words—
A Chapter—then the mighty Book—
Then—Revelation closed—
 
But in Each Other’s eyes
An Ignorance beheld—
Diviner than the Childhood’s—
And each to each, a Child—
 
Attempted to expound
What Neither—understood—
Alas, that Wisdom is so large—
And Truth—so manifold!
