It sifts from Leaden Sieves
BY EMILY DICKINSON
Written in 1830
It powders all the Wood.
It fills with Alabaster Wool
The Wrinkles of the Road -
It makes an even Face
Of Mountain, and of Plain -
Unbroken Forehead from the East
Unto the East again -
It reaches to the Fence -
It wraps it Rail by Rail
Till it is lost in Fleeces -
It deals Celestial Vail
There will be food distribution on Friday, December 18th from 9am-12 pm outside School #2 or School #4
