You Cannot Put A Fire Out Poem by Emily Dickinson

You Cannot Put A Fire Out

Rating: 5.0


530

You cannot put a Fire out—
A Thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a Fan—
Upon the slowest Night—

You cannot fold a Flood—
And put it in a Drawer—
Because the Winds would find it out—
And tell your Cedar Floor—
