JUST SO, JESUS RAPS - HE DOES NOT WEARY by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: At thee!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Just so - Christ - raps -
He - doesn't weary -
First - at the Knocker -
And then - at the Bell -
Then - on Divinest tiptoe standing -
Might He but spy the hiding soul!

When He - retires -
Chilled - or weary -
It will be ample time for me -
Patient - upon the steps - until then -
Heart - I am knocking low
At thee!
