Non omnis moriar

The brain within its groove

by Emily Dickinson · Explore poems

  1. The brain within its groove
  2. Runs evenly and true;
  3. But let a splinter swerve,
  4. 'T were easier for you
  5. To put the water back
  6. When floods have slit the hills,
  7. And scooped a turnpike for themselves,
  8. And blotted out the mills!

  12.  
  13.  
  14.  
  15. II. LOVE.
