Some—Work for Immortality—
The Chiefer part, for Time—
He—Compensates—immediately—
The former—Checks—on Fame—
Slow Gold—but Everlasting—
The Bullion of Today—
Contrasted with the Currency
Of Immortality—
A Beggar—Here and There—
Is gifted to discern
Beyond the Broker's insight—
One's—Money—One's—the Mine—
More verses by Emily Dickinson
- 'Twas Warm—at First—like Us
- It Was A Grave, Yet Bore No Stone
- That After Horror—that 'Twas Us
- Split The Lark&Mdash;And You'Ll Find The Music
- It Did Not Surprise Me
