Emily Dickinson - The going from a world we know

The going from a world we know
To one a wonder still
Is like the child's adversity
Whose vista is a hill,
Behind the hill is sorcery
And everything unknown,
But will the secret compensate
For climbing it alone?

When I first come to America I read Emily Dickinson. She help me through hard times when I learn English. I really inspired by her poems. This make me love America more.
