I cannot dance upon my Toes I cannot dance upon my Toes — No Man instructed me — But oftentimes, among my mind, A Glee possesseth me, That had I Ballet knowledge — Would put itself abroad In Pirouette to blanch a Troupe — Or lay a Prima, mad, And though I had no Gown of Gauze — No Ringlet, to my Hair, Nor hopped to Audiences — like Birds, One Claw upon the Air, Nor tossed my shape in Eider Balls, Nor rolled on wheels of snow Till I was out of sight, in sound, The House encore me so — Nor any know I know the Art I mention — easy — Here — Nor any Placard boast me — It's full as Opera — Emily Dickinson |
