Under the Light, yet under

Six poésies d’Emily Dickinson

pour deux mezzo-sopranos et piano

Page 2: Under the Light, yet under - e-monsite

I.

Under the Light, yet under, Under the Grass and the Dirt,

Under the Beetle’s Cellar Under the Clover’s Root,

Further than Arm could stretch

Were it Giant long, Further than Sunshine could Were the Day Year long ;

Over the Light, yet over,

Over the Arc of the Bird – Over the Comet’s chimney –

Over the Cubit’s Head,

Further than Guess can gallop Further than Riddle ride –

Oh for a Disc to the Distance Between Ourselves and the Dead !

1068

II.

There is a solitude of space A solitude of sea

A solitude of Death, but these Society shall be

Compared with that profounder site That polar privacy

A soul admitted to itself – 1696

III.

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee,

And revery, The revery alone will do,

If bees are few. 1779

Page 3: Under the Light, yet under - e-monsite

IV.

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant – Success in Circuit lies

Too bright for our infirm Delight The Truth’s superbe surprise

As Lightning to the Children eased With explanation kind

The Truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind –

1263

V.

Fame is a bee, It has a song – It has a sting –

Ah, too, it has a wing. 1788

VI.

Some things that fly there be – Birds – Hours – the Bumblebee –

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 !

68

Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)
