My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun
Emily Dickinson
My Life had stood—a Loaded Gun—
In Corners—till a Day
The Owner passed—identified—
And carried Me away—
5And now We roam in Sovreign Woods—
And now We hunt the Doe—
And every time I speak for Him—
The Mountains straight reply—
And do I smile, such cordial light
10Opon the Valley glow—
It is as a Vesuvian face
Had let its pleasure through—
upon
And when at Night—Our good Day done—
I guard My Master’s Head—
15‘Tis better than the Eider Duck’s
Deep Pillow—to have shared—
To foe of His—I’m deadly foe—
None stir the second time—
On whom I lay a Yellow Eye—
20Or an emphatic Thumb—
Though I than He—may longer live
He longer must—than I—
For I have but the power to kill,
Without—the power to die—
(1863)
