Emily Dickinson - He ate and drank the precious Words

He ate and drank the precious Words —
His Spirit grew robust —
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust —

He danced along the dingy Days
And this Bequest of Wings
Was but a Book — What Liberty
A loosened spirit brings —

Poems published 1890 by Mabel Loomis Todd, T.W. Higginson (eds.)
