Poem A Day

Classic poem

The Sea said "Come" to the Brook --

by Emily Dickinson

The Sea said "Come" to the Brook --

The Brook said "Let me grow" --

The Sea said "Then you will be a Sea --

I want a Brook -- Come now"!

The Sea said "Go" to the Sea --

The Sea said "I am he

You cherished" -- "Learned Waters --

Wisdom is stale -- to Me"
