Further Poems of Emily Dickinson/You see, I cannot see your lifetime,

​
You see, I cannot see your lifetime,
I must guess
How many times it ache
For me to-day—
Confess

How many times for
My far sake
The brave eyes film.
But I guess guessing hurts,
Mine get so dim!

Too vague the face
My own so patient covets,
Too far the strength
My timidness enfolds;
Haunting the heart
Like her transplanted faces,
Teasing the want
It only can suffice.
