The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

Bring me the sunset in a cup...
Beautifully written and cunningly meaningful, the poems of Emily Dickinson are meditations on love, God, nature, life and death.
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

"I meant to find Her when I came �
Death � had the same design �
But the Success � was His � it seems �
And the Surrender � Mine �
I meant to tell Her how I longed
For just this single time �
But Death had told Her so the first �
And she had past, with Him �
To wander � now � is my Repose �
To rest � To rest would be
A privilege of Hurricane
To Memory � and Me."

"To see her is a Picture �
To hear her is a Tune �
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June �
To know her not � Affliction �
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand."
