Poem A Day

She's happy, with a new Content --

by Emily Dickinson

She's happy, with a new Content --

That feels to her -- like Sacrament --

She's busy -- with an altered Care --

As just apprenticed to the Air --

She's tearful -- if she weep at all --

For blissful Causes -- Most of all

That Heaven permit so meek as her --

To such a Fate -- to Minister.
