Poems by Emily Dickinson: I shall know why, when time is over

Updated May 6, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

XXXIX

 
I shall know why, when time is over,
And I have ceased to wonder why;
Christ will explain each separate anguish
In the fair schoolroom of the sky.
He will tell me what Peter promised,
And I, for wonder at his woe,
I shall forget the drop of anguish
That scalds me now, that scalds me now.
