PoetSeers Early American Poets Emily Dickinson Poems I asked no other Thing

I asked no other Thing

         XII.

 

I asked no other thing,

No other was denied.

I offered Being for it;

The mighty merchant smiled.

 

Brazil? He twirled a button,

Without a glance my way:

"But, madam, is there nothing else

That we can show to-day?"

 

 

- Emily Dickinson
