Numen Lumen
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
I live with him, I see his face;
I go no more away
For visitor, or sundown;
Death's single privacy,
The only one forestalling mine,
And that by right that he
Presents a claim invisible,
No wedlock granted me.
I live with him, I hear his voice,
I stand alive to-day
To witness to the certainty
Of immortality
Taught me by Time, — the lower way,
Conviction every day, —
That life like this is endless,
Be judgment what it may.
Emily Dickinson's Numen Lumen
I am busy working to bring Emily Dickinson's "Numen Lumen" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Numen Lumen" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
