What if I say I shall not wait lyrics

What if I say I shall not wait!

What if I burst the fleshly Gate -

And pass Escaped - to thee!

What if I file this Mortal - off -

See where it hurt me - That's enough -

And wade in Liberty!

They cannot take me - any more!

Dungeons can call - and Guns implore

Unmeaning - now - to me -

As laughter - was - an hour ago -

Or Laces - or a Travelling Show -

Or who died - yesterday!

• Artist:Emily Dickinson
