Dickinson, Emily: They shut me up in Prose —

They shut me up in Prose –
As when a little Girl
They put me in the Closet –
Because they liked me "still" –

Still! Could themself have peeped –
And seen my Brain – go round –
They might as wise have lodged a Bird
For Treason – in the Pound –

Prózába zártak ők —
Kislányként be, igen —
Egy kis szobába engem —
Hogy végre “csend” legyen —

Csend! Lestek volna be —
Agyamba — bárhova —
Bezárhattak vón’ egy Madarat
Lázdásért oda —
