About This Piece

A setting of poetry by Emily Dickinson, this song tells about the love of reading and losing yourself in a story.

Lyrics

She ate and drank the precious words,
Her spirit grew robust;
She knew no more that she was poor,
Nor that her frame was dust.
She danced along the dingy days,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings!
