He was weak, and I was strong—then Emily Dickinson

190

He was weak, and I was strong—then
So He let me lead him in
I was weak, and He was strong then
So I let him lead me—Home

'Twasn't far—the door was near
'Twasn't dark—for He went—too
'Twasn't loud, for He said nought
That was all I cared to know

Day knocked—and we must part
Neither—was strongest—now
He strove—and I strove—too
We didn't do it—tho'!
