What Soft-Cherubic Creatures

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

401

What Soft-Cherubic Creatures-
These Gentlewomen are-
One would as soon assault a Plush-
Or violate a Star-

Such Dimity Convictions-
A Horror so refined
Of freckled Human Nature-
Of Deity-ashamed-

It's such a common-Glory-
A Fisherman's-Degree-
Redemption-Brittle Lady-
Be so-ashamed of Thee-
