We talked as Girls do -
Fond, and late-
We speculated fair, on every subject, but the
Grave-
Of ours, none affair

We handled Destinies, as cool-
As we- Disposers - be -
And God, a Quiet Party
To our Authority -

But fondest, dwelt upon Ourself
As we eventual - be -
When Girl to Women, softly raised
We - occupy - Degree-

We parted with a contract
To cherish, and to write
But Heaven made both, impossible
Before another night.

-Emily Dickinson
