POETRY.

THE FUTURE NEVER SPOKE

The Future never spoke – Nor will he like the Dumb Reveal by sign – a Syllable Of His Profound To Come –

But when the News be ripe Presents it in the Act – Forestalling Preparation – Escape – or Substitute –

Indifferent to him – The Dower – as the Doom – His Office but to execute Fate’s Telegram – to Him –

By Emily Dickinson
