Whatever it is -- she has tried it --

by Emily Dickinson

Whatever it is -- she has tried it --

Awful Father of Love --

Is not Ours the chastising --

Do not chastise the Dove --

Not for Ourselves, petition --

Nothing is left to pray --

When a subject is finished --

Words are handed away --

Only lest she be lonely

In thy beautiful House

Give her for her Transgression

License to think of us --
