the brain by Emily Dickinson

This time i am going to present most popular poem of the most unappreciated poet of her age Emily Dickinson and the poem is- 

The Brain

The brain-is wider than sky-

For- put them side by side-

The one the other will contain

With ease-and you-beside-

The brain is deeper then the sea-

From hold them-blue to blue-

The one the other will absorb-

As sponges-buckets-do-

The brain is just the weight of god

For heft them-pound for pound

And they will differ-if they do

As syllable from sound-
