Author Emily Dickinson 472 Except the Heaven had come so near— So seemed to choose My Door— The Distance would not haunt me so— I had not hoped—before— But just to hear the Grace depart— I never thought to see— Afflicts me with a Double loss— 'Tis lost—and lost to me— Tags loss lost heaven hope Rate this poem Select ratingGive it 1/5Give it 2/5Give it 3/5Give it 4/5Give it 5/5 No votes yet Rate Log in or register to post comments
