The Court is far away lyrics
by Emily Dickinson

The Court is far away
No Umpire—have I
My Sovereign is offended
To gain his grace—I'd die!
I'll seek his royal feet
I'll say—Remember—King
Thou shalt—thyself—one day—a Child
Implore a larger—thing
That Empire—is of Czars
As small—they say—as I
Grant me—that day—the royalty
To intercede—for Thee
