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

Part Five: The Single Hound

XLI

LIKE Men and Women shadows walk

Upon the hills today,

With here and there a mighty bow,

Or trailing courtesy

To Neighbors, doubtless, of their own;

Not quickened to perceive

Minuter landscape, as Ourselves

And Boroughs where we live.
