Poems

Because I could not stop for Death - / He kindly stopped for me -

Hope is the thing with feathers - / That perches in the soul -

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, / And Mourners to and fro

I m Nobody! Who are you? / Are you - Nobody - too?

Wild Nights - Wild Nights! / Were I with thee

Tell all the truth but tell it slant - / Success in Circuit lies
