When a Lover is a Beggar
Abject is his Knee -
When a Lover is an Owner
Different is he -
What he begged is then the Beggar -
Oh disparity -
Bread of Heaven resents bestowal
Like an obloquy -
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- The Black Berry—wears A Thorn In His Side
- Through Lane It Lay—through Bramble
- The Malay—took The Pearl
- The Sun Kept Stooping—stooping
- I Pay—in Satin Cash
