SAFE in their Alabaster Chambers –

SAFE in their Alabaster Chambers –
Untouched by Morning –
And untouched by Noon –
Lie the meek members of the Resurrection –
Rafter of satin – and Roof of stone!

Grand go the Years – in the Crescent above them –
Worlds scoop their Arcs –
And Firmaments – row –
Diadems – drop – and Doges – surrender –
Soundless as dots – on a Disc of Snow –

By Emily Dickinson
