You taught me Waiting with Myself lyrics
by Emily Dickinson

You taught me Waiting with Myself
Appointment strictly kept
You taught me fortitude of Fate
This—also—I have learnt
An Altitude of Death, that could
No bitterer debar
Than Life—had done—before it
Yet—there is a Science more
The Heaven you know—to understand
That you be not ashamed
Of Me—in Christ's bright Audience
Upon the further Hand
