"Heaven"-is what I cannot reach! By Emily Dickinson

"Heaven"-is what I cannot reach!

The Apple on the Tree-

Provided it do hopeless-hang-

That-"Heaven" is-to Me!

The Color, on the Cruising Cloud-

The interdicted Land-

Behind the Hill-the House behind-

There-Paradise-is found!

Her teasing Purples-Afternoons-

The credulous-decoy-

Enamored-of the Conjuror-

That spurned us-Yesterday!
