As If I Asked A Common Alms Poem by Emily Dickinson
As If I Asked A Common Alms
Rating: ★2.8
323
As if I asked a common Alms,
And in my wondering hand
A Stranger pressed a Kingdom,
And I, bewildered, stand—
As if I asked the Orient
Had it for me a Morn—
And it should lift its purple Dikes,
And shatter me with Dawn!
