Emily Dickinson:
The Things that never / can come back, are / several - / Childhood - some / forms of Hope - the Dead - / But Joys like men / may sometimes make a / Journey / And still abide - // We do not mourn / for Traveler or Sailor - / Their Routes are fair - / But think - enlarged - / of all that they will / tell us - / Returning here - // "Here"! There are / typic Heres -
