A poem by Emily Dickinson

The Soul Should Always Stand Ajar

________________________________________________
Title:     The Soul Should Always Stand Ajar
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The soul should always stand ajar,
That if the heaven inquire,
He will not be obliged to wait,
Or shy of troubling her.

Depart, before the host has slid
The bolt upon the door,
To seek for the accomplished guest, --
Her visitor no more.







[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Soul Should Always Stand Ajar
