Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

So much of Heaven has gone from Earth

by Emily Dickinson

So much of Heaven has gone from Earth

That there must be a Heaven

If only to enclose the Saints

To Affidavit given.

The Missionary to the Mole

Must prove there is a Sky

Location doubtless he would plead

But what excuse have I?

Too much of Proof affronts Belief

The Turtle will not try

Unless you leave him -- then return

And he has hauled away.
