The Brain
by Emily Dickinson

The Brain – is wider than the Sky -
For – put them side by side -
The one the other will contain
With ease – and You – beside -

The Brain is deeper than the Sea -
For – hold them – Blue to Blue -
The one the other will absorb -
As sponges – buckets – do -
The Brain is just the weight of God -
For – Heft them – Pound for Pound -
And they will differ – if they do-
As Syllable from Sound
