The Bible Is An Antique Volume
Emily Dickinson
1545 The Bible is an antique Volume— Written by faded men At the suggestion of Holy Spectres— Subjects—Bethlehem— Eden—the ancient Homestead— Satan—the Brigadier— Judas—the Great Defaulter— David—the Troubador— Sin—a distinguished Precipice Others must resist— Boys that “believe” are very lonesome— Other Boys are “lost”— Had but the Tale a warbling Teller— All the Boys would come— Orpheus’ Sermon captivated— It did not condemn—
