A poem by Emily Dickinson

I Shall Know Why, When Time Is Over

________________________________________________
Title:     I Shall Know Why, When Time Is Over
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I shall know why, when time is over,
And I have ceased to wonder why;
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky.

He will tell me what Peter promised,
And I, for wonder at his woe,
I shall forget the drop of anguish
That scalds me now, that scalds me now.






[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: I Shall Know Why, When Time Is Over
