Some things that fly there be,
Birds, hours, the bumble-bee:
Of these no elegy.
Some things that stay there be,
Grief, hills, eternity:
Nor this behooveth me.
There are, that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the riddle lies!

I would have thought that I'd read all of Dickinson's poetry at some point, but I can't recall having read this one before. It made me think, in the good way.
