Emily Dickinson (1830–86).  Complete Poems.  1924.

Part One: Life

CXXIV


REMEMBRANCE has a rear and front,—
  ’T is something like a house;
It has a garret also
  For refuse and the mouse,
  
Besides, the deepest cellar        5
  That ever mason hewed;
Look to it, by its fathoms
  Ourselves be not pursued.
