Two Butterflies went out at Noon Two Butterflies went out at Noon - And waltzed above a Farm - Then stepped straight through the Firmament And rested on a Beam - And then -together bore away Upon a shining Sea - Though never yet, in any Port - Their coming mentioned -be - If spoken by the distant Bird - If met in Ether Sea By Frigate, or by Merchantman - No notice -was -to me -
Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886) US-amerikanische Dichterin
