Poem A Day

Just so -- Jesus -- raps

by Emily Dickinson

Just so -- Jesus -- raps --

He -- doesn't weary --

Last -- at the Knocker --

And first -- at the Bell.

Then -- on divinest tiptoe -- standing --

Might He but spy the lady's soul --

When He -- retires --

Chilled -- or weary --

It will be ample time for -- me --

Patient -- upon the steps -- until then --

Hears! I am knocking -- low at thee.
