Poem A Day

A Door just opened on a street --

by Emily Dickinson

A Door just opened on a street --

I -- lost -- was passing by --

An instant's Width of Warmth disclosed --

And Wealth -- and Company.

The Door as instant shut -- And I --

I -- lost -- was passing by --

Lost doubly -- but by contrast -- most --

Informing -- misery --
