"I taste a liquor never brewed"

I taste a liquor never brewed — From Tankards scooped in Pearl — Not all the Vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an Alcohol!

Inebriate of Air — am I — And Debauchee of Dew — Reeling — thro endless summer days — From inns of Molten Blue — When "Landlords" turn the drunken Bee
Out of the Foxglove's door — When Butterflies — renounce their "drams" — I shall but drink the more!

Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats — And Saints — to windows run — To see the little Tippler
Leaning against the — Sun —

About Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.
