One Sister have I in our house (14) by Emily Dickinson

One Sister have I in our house (14) is a poem composed by Emily Dickinson.

One Sister have I in our house (14)

One Sister have I in our house –
And one a hedge away.
There’s only one recorded,
But both belong to me.One came the way that I came –
And wore my past year’s gown –
The other as a bird her nest,
Builded our hearts among.

She did not sing as we did –
It was a different tune –
Herself to her a Music
As Bumble-bee of June.

Today is far from Childhood –
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter –
Which shortened all the miles –

And still her hum
The years among,
Deceives the Butterfly;
Still in her Eye
The Violets lie
Mouldered this many May.

I spilt the dew –
But took the morn, –
I chose this single star
From out the wide night’s numbers –
Sue – forevermore!
