I Shall Know why, when Time is over

Explore "I Shall Know why, when Time is over" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

I shall know why, when time is over, / And I have ceased to wonder why; / Christ will explain each separate anguish / In the fair schoolroom of the sky.

He will tell me what Peter promised, / And I, for wonder at his woe, / I shall forget the drop of anguish / That scalds me now, that scalds me now.
