Further Poems of Emily Dickinson/I fear a man of scanty speech,
ONE
I FEAR a man of scanty speech,
I fear a silent man,
Haranguer I can overtake
Or babbler entertain—
I fear a silent man,
Haranguer I can overtake
Or babbler entertain—
But he who waiteth
While the rest
Expend their inmost pound,
Of this Man I am wary—
I fear that He is Grand.
While the rest
Expend their inmost pound,
Of this Man I am wary—
I fear that He is Grand.
