A poem by Emily Dickinson

A Book [He ate and drank the precious words]

________________________________________________
Title:     A Book [He ate and drank the precious words]
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

He ate and drank the precious words,
His spirit grew robust;
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was dust.
He danced along the dingy days,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings!







[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Book [He ate and drank the precious words]
