Explore "Except the Heaven had Come so Near" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Except the heaven had come so near, / So seemed to choose my door, / The distance would not haunt me so; / I had not hoped before.
But just to hear the grace depart / I never thought to see, / Afflicts me with a double loss; / 'T is lost, and lost to me.
