Their Height in Heaven comforts not --

Emily Dickinson·1830–1886
Lines:16
Their Height in Heaven comforts not --Their Glory -- nought to me --'Twas best imperfect -- as it was --I'm finite -- I can't see -- The House of Supposition --The Glimmering Frontier thatSkirts the Acres of Perhaps --To Me -- shows insecure -- The Wealth I had -- contented me --If 'twas a meaner size --Then I had counted it untilIt pleased my narrow Eyes -- Better than larger values --That show however true --This timid life of EvidenceKeeps pleading -- "I don't know."
