Personally I like the selected poems of Emily Dickinson
I have never seen the wasteland
I have never seen the wasteland--
I have never seen the ocean --
But I know the appearance of the heather
and the wild waves.
I have never talked to God
Never visited heaven--
But I seem to have passed the test
I will definitely get there That place.
I never saw a moor
I never saw a Moor--
I never saw the Sea--
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.
I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven--
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given--
The clouds are dark
The sky is low and the clouds are dark again,
Flying through the snowflakes.
Crossing the rutted horse pen,
It is difficult to decide whether to stay or go.
Whoever treats the wind like this will make him complain all day long.
Nature is like us,
We often don’t wear a crown.
Beclouded
THE sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A traveling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.
Escape
My blood speeds up as soon as I hear the word "escape"
Rushing,
A sudden expectation,
An impulse to fly.
I have never heard of an open prison
being captured by soldiers,
but I childishly dragged my fence--
< p>Just another failure!Escape
I NEVER hear the word "escape"
Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation,
A flying attitude.
I never hear of prisons broad
by soldiers battered down,
But I tug childish at my bars--
Only to fail again!
Hope
"Hope" is something with feathers
residing in the soul Here,
singing a melody without words,
never stopping at all,
The breeze blowing is the sweetest
The heavy rain will undoubtedly cause pain
Can make birds restless
Keep so much warmth.
Listen to it crossing the wonderful sea
Flying over the cold fields
But it doesn’t want my bread crumbs
Even if it is extremely hungry.
"Hope"
"HOPE" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And the sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest Sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of Me.
