Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part One: Life LXIX |
| REMORSE is memory awake, | |
| Her companies astir,— | |
| A presence of departed acts | |
| At window and at door. | |
| Its past set down before the soul, | 5 |
| And lighted with a match, | |
| Perusal to facilitate | |
| Of its condensed despatch. | |
| Remorse is cureless,—the disease | |
| Not even God can heal; | 10 |
| For ’t is His institution,— | |
| The complement of hell. |
