There Is Another Sky

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,

And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;

Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -

Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;

Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;

In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:

Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

More verses by Emily Dickinson:

Not knowing when the dawn will come
I open every door.
Emily Dickinson

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame;
give me the man who living makes a name.
Emily Dickinson
