Explore "The Moon is Distant from the Sea" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The moon is distant from the sea, / And yet with amber hands / She leads him, docile as a boy, / Along appointed sands.
He never misses a degree; / Obedient to her eye, / He comes just so far toward the town, / Just so far goes away.
Oh, Signor, thine the amber hand, / And mine the distant sea, -- / Obedient to the least command / Thine eyes impose on me.
