Why Do They Shut Me Out of Heaven? – Poem by Emily Dickinson
Why Do They Shut Me Out of Heaven?
248
Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing—too loud?
But—I can say a little ‘Minor’
Timid as a Bird!
Wouldn’t the Angels try me—
Just—once—more—
Just—see—if I troubled them—
But don’t—shut the door!
Oh, if I—were the Gentleman
In the ‘White Robe’—
And they—were the little Hand—that knocked—
Could—I—forbid?
Emily Dickinson
