The poets light but lamps

The Poets light but Lamps 

BY EMILY DICKINSON

The Poets light but Lamps —
Themselves — go out —
The Wicks they stimulate
If vital Light

Inhere as do the Suns —
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference


Poets 
are 
but themselves vital Sun 
their wick 
a circumference of age 

A lens 
colliding light 
disseminating 
time 
abiding
