Poems, Series 2

by Emily Dickinson

  <<Previous Table of Contents Next>>  

I. Life
XV. The soul unto itself

The soul unto itself
Is an imperial friend, --
Or the most agonizing spy
An enemy could send.

Secure against its own,
No treason it can fear;
Itself its sovereign, of itself
The soul should stand in awe.
