'Twas comfort in her Dying Room
To hear the living Clock -
A short relief to have the wind
Walk boldly up and knock -
Diversion from the Dying Theme
To hear the children play -
But wrong the more
That these could live
And this of ours must die.
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- Whether they have forgotten
- The Beggar at the Door for Fame
- Praise it - 'tis dead -
- 'Tomorrow' - whose location
- Best Witchcraft is Geometry
