Emily Dickinson

I Never Saw a Moor

I never saw a moor; I never saw the sea, Yet know I how the heather looks And what a billow be. I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven. Yet certain am I of the spot As if the checks were given. Image refers to Dickinson's "I never saw a Moor--" (now numbered #1052) as it appeared on p. 322 of Stedman's anthology; compare to the version of the poem as it now appears in collections of Dickinson.
