“A Light Exists in Spring”

“A Light Exists in Spring”

~Emily Dickinson

A Light exists in Spring

Not present on the Year

At any other period –

When March is scarcely here
A Color stands abroad

On Solitary Fields

That Science cannot overtake

But Human Nature feels.
It waits upon the Lawn,

It shows the furthest Tree

Upon the furthest Slope you know

It almost speaks to you.
Then as Horizons step

Or Noons report away

Without the Formula of sound

It passes and we stay —
A quality of loss

Affecting our Content

As Trade had suddenly encroached

Upon a Sacrament.

“The Lamb”

“The Lamb”
William Blake

    Little Lamb, who made thee
    Dost thou know who made thee,
    Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
    By the stream and o’er the mead;
    Gave thee clothing of delight,
    Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
    Gave thee such a tender voice,
    Making all the vales rejoice?
    Little Lamb, who made thee?
    Dost thou know who made thee?

    Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee;
    Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee:
    He is called by thy name,
    For He calls Himself a Lamb
    He is meek, and He is mild,
    He became a little child.
    I a child, and thou a lamb,
    We are called by His name.
    Little Lamb, God bless thee!
    Little Lamb, God bless thee!
