Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson: Going to Heaven! - Giovanna Gatto, Аарон Копленд

Going to heaven!\nGoing to heaven!\nGoing to heaven!\nI don’t know when\nPray do not ask me how,--\nIndeed, I’m too astonished\nTo think of answering you!\nGoing to heaven!--\nGoing to heaven!\nHow dim it sounds!\nAnd yet it will be done\nAs sure as flocks go home at night\nUnto the shepherd’s arm!\nPerhaps you’re going too!\nWho knows?\nIf you should get there first\nSave just a little place for me\nClose to the two I lost!\nThe smallest «robe» will fit me\nAnd just a bit of «crown»;\nFor you know we do not mind our dress\nWhen we are going home\nGoing to heaven!\nGoing to heaven!\nI’m glad I don’t believe it\nFor it would stop my breath\nAnd I’d like to look a little more\nAt such a curious earth!\nI am glad they did believe it\nWhom I have never found\nSince the mighty autumn afternoon\nI left them in the ground
