He+Put+the+Belt+Around+My+Life

He put the Belt around my life-- I heard the Buckle snap-- And turned away, imperial, My Lifetime folding up-- Deliberate, as a Duke would do A Kingdom's Title Deed-- Henceforth, a Dedicated sort-- A Member of the Cloud. Yet not too far to come at call-- And do the little Toils That make the Circuit of the Rest-- And deal occasional smiles To lives that stoop to notice mine-- And kindly ask it in-- Whose invitation, know you not For Whom I must decline? --EMILY DICKINSON
