Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Two: Nature

XXXIII

HOW happy is the little stone

That rambles in the road alone,

And does n’t care about careers,

And exigencies never fears;

Whose coat of elemental brown

A passing universe put on;

And independent as the sun,

Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute decree

In casual simplicity.
