Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part One: Life IX |
| THE HEART asks pleasure first, | |
| And then, excuse from pain; | |
| And then, those little anodynes | |
| That deaden suffering; | |
| And then, to go to sleep; | 5 |
| And then, if it should be | |
| The will of its Inquisitor, | |
| The liberty to die. |
