I Never Saw a Moor

By Emily Dickinson

I never saw a moor;

I never saw the sea,

Yet know I how the heather looks

And what a billow be.

I never spoke with God,

Nor visited in heaven.

Yet certain am I of the spot

As if the checks were given.

Image refers to Dickinson's "I never saw a Moor--" (now numbered #1052) as it appeared on p. 322 of Stedman's anthology; compare to the version of the poem as it now appears in collections of Dickinson.
