The Single Hound: Poems of a Lifetime by Emily Dickinson, Martha Dickinson Bianchi

I Send Two Sunsets

I SEND two Sunsets– Day and I in competition ran, I finished two, and several stars, While He was making one.

His own is ampler– But, as I was saying to a friend, Mine is the more convenient To carry in the hand.

[Sent with brilliant flowers.]
