Nature And God—i Neither Knew Poem by Emily Dickinson

Nature And God—i Neither Knew

Rating: ★5.0


835

Nature and God—I neither knew
Yet Both so well knew me
They startled, like Executors
Of My identity.

Yet Neither told—that I could learn—
My Secret as secure
As Herschel's private interest
Or Mercury's affair—

Yes, neither tells any one that he or she can learn his or her secret...that comparison is amusing...great
