Emily Dickinson #8


Mary Magdalene by Ary Scheffer

At least to pray is left, is left.
O Jesus! in the air
I know not which thy chamber is, —
I’m knocking everywhere.

Thou stirrest earthquake in the South,
And maelstrom in the sea;
Say, Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
Hast thou no arm for me?
” – Emily Dickinson

I don’t know what Emily Dickinson was going through when she wrote this.
