A poem by Emily Dickinson

Escape

________________________________________________
Title:     Escape
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

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!






[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Escape
