Tis Whiter Than An Indian Pipe-

Emily Dickinson

1482

’Tis whiter than an Indian Pipe—
’Tis dimmer than a Lace—
No stature has it, like a Fog
When you approach the place—
Nor any voice imply it here
Or intimate it there
A spirit—how doth it accost—
What function hat the Air?
This limitless Hyperbole
Each one of us shall be—
’Tis Drama—if Hypothesis
It be not Tragedy—
