Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature lyrics
by Emily Dickinson
750
Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature
Gravitates within
Atmosphere, and Sun endorse it
Bit it stir—alone
Each—its difficult Ideal
Must achieve—Itself
Through the solitary prowess
Of a Silent Life
Effort—is the sole condition
Patience of Itself
Patience of opposing forces
And intact Belief
Looking on—is the Department
Of its Audience
But Transaction—is assisted
By no Countenance
