SHE ROSE TO HIS REQUIREMENT - DROPT
                                                - Emily Dickinson

She rose to His Requirement - dropt
The Playthings of Her Life
To take the honorable Work
Of Woman and of Wife -

If aught She missed in Her new Day,
Of Amplitude, or Awe -
Or first Prospective - Or the Gold
In using, wear away,

It lay unmentioned - as the Sea
Develop Pearl, and Weed,
But only to Himself - be known
The Fathoms they abide -
