Ah, Moon -- and Star!

Emily Dickinson·1830–1886
Lines:17
Ah, Moon -- and Star!You are very far --But were no oneFarther than you --Do you think I'd stopFor a Firmament --Or a Cubit -- or so? I could borrow a BonnetOf the Lark --And a Chamois' Silver Boot --And a stirrup of an Antelope --And be with you -- Tonight! But, Moon, and Star,Though you're very far --There is one -- farther than you --He -- is more than a firmament -- from Me --So I can never go!
