Emily Dickinson poem

I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too –
And angels know the rest.
I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.

(Emily Dickinson)

Song of the Open Road (1856)

(Still here I carry my old delicious burdens;
I carry them, men and women ─ I carry them with me wherever I go;
I swear it is impossible for me to get rid of them;
I am fill’d with them, and I will fill them in return.)

Walt Whitman
