CONTRAST - A door just opened on a street
BY
Emily Dickinson


Buy Emily Dickinson's Works



A door just opened on a street --
I, lost, was passing by --
An instant's width of warmth disclosed,
And wealth, and company.

The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by, --
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.
