Emily Dickinson   (1830 - 1886)
dickinson
Have you got a brook in your little heart,
Where bashful flowers blow,
And blushing birds go down to drink,
And shadows tremble so
dickinson
And nobody knows, so still it flows,
That any brook is there;
And yet your little draught of life
Is daily drunken there.
dickinson
Then look out for the little brook in March,
When the rivers overflow,
And the snows come hurrying from the hills,
And the bridges often go.
