Bind me — I still can sing — (poem 1005)
by Emily Dickinson
Bind me — I still can sing —
Banish — my mandolin
Strikes true within —
Slay — and my Soul shall rise
Chanting to Paradise —
Still thine.
"Bind Me - I Still Can Sing" is the first song of Libby Larsen's song cycle Chanting to Paradise, which sets the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
