The Single Hound: Poems of a Lifetime

Contents:

Author: Emily Dickinson | Date: 1914

XXXI.

THE Future never spoke,

Nor will he, like the Dumb,

Reveal by sign or syllable

Of his profound To-come.

But when the news be ripe,

Presents it in the Act-

Forestalling preparation

Escape or substitute.

Indifferent to him

The Dower as the Doom,

His office but to execute

Fate’s Telegram to him.
