	Emily Dickinson

This was a Poet — It is That



	This was a Poet — It is That
	Distills amazing sense
	From ordinary Meanings —
	And Attar so immense

5	From the familiar species
	That perished by the Door —
	We wonder it was not Ourselves
	Arrested it — before —

	Of Pictures, the Discloser —
10	The Poet — it is He —
	Entitles Us — by Contrast —
	To ceaseless Poverty —

	Of portion — so unconscious —
	The Robbing — could not harm —
15	Himself — to Him — a Fortune —
	Exterior — to Time —
