Emily Dickinson
Bio
The Gentian weaves her fringes (18)
The Bee is not afraid of me (111)
What inn is this? (115)
My friend attacks my friend (118)
A something in a summer (122)
In lands I never saw (124)
I lost a World (181)
Faith (185)
I taste a liquor never brewed (214)
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers (216)
Wild Nights! Wild Nights! (249)
“Hope” is the thing with feathers (254)
What if I say I shall not wait! (277)
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain (280)
Of Bronze—and Blaze (290)
I reason, Earth is short (301)
I'll tell you how the sun rose (318)
Some keep the Sabbath Going (324)
Before I got my eye put out (327)
I know that He exists (338)
After great pain, a formal feeling comes (341)
Perhaps I asked too large (352)
The Day that I was crowned (356)
What I can do - I will (361)
A precious mouldering (371)
The Angle of a Landscape (375)
For Death -- or rather (382)
Exhilaration - is within (383)
No Rack can torture me (384)
Answer July (386)
Through the Dark Sod (392)
Did Our Best Moment last (393)
The first Day's Night (410)
A Murmur in the Trees (416)
We grow accustomed (419)
You'll know it (420)
Do People moulder (432)
Much Madness is divinest (435)
The Wind-- tapped (436)
This is my letter to the world (441)
I died for Beauty (449)
I tie my Hat (443)
It Was Given To Me (454)
I live with Him (463)
'Tis little I (466)
Except the Heaven (472)
A Night - there lay (471)
I had no time (478)
A Solemn thing within (483)
We pray - to Heaven - 489)
I envy Seas (498)
It was not Death (510)
If you were coming (511)
The Soul has Bandaged (512)
He parts Himself (517)
I Started Early - Took my Dog (520)
We see—Comparatively (534)
I'm sorry for the Dead (529)
We dream (531)
I tried to think (532)
Two Butterflies (533)
She's happy, with a new Content (535)
The Heart Asks Pleasure (536)
I Took my Power (540)
I fear a Man (543)
To fill a Gap (546)
That I did always love (549)
I cross till I am weary (550)
The Black Berry (554)
The Brain, within its Groove (556)
I measure every Grief (561)
I could not prove (563)
My period had come for Prayer (564)
We learned the Whole of Love (568)
I reckon—when I count it all (569)
Delight becomes pictorial (572)
I prayed, at first (576)
I had been hungry (579)
I gave myself to Him (580)
A toad can die of light (583)
It ceased to hurt me (584)
I like to see it lap the miles (585)
Empty my Heart (587)
It troubled me (600)
They shut me up in Prose (613)
I rose—because He sank (616)
The Brain (632)
I dwell in Possibility (657)
A thought went up my mind (701)
Publication—is the Auction (709)
Because I could not stop for Death (712)
Behind Me—dips Eternity (721)
Alter! When the Hills do (729)
She rose to His Requirement (732)
If He were living (734)
You said that I (738)
The Birds reported from the South (743)
Never for Society (746)
It dropped so low (747)
My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun (754)
A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree (794)
Who Court obtain within Himself (803)
Unable are the Loved to die (809)
A Light exists in Spring (812)
Express from God (844)
The good Will of a Flower (849)
There is a finished feeling (856)
Because the Bee may blameless hum (869)
I stepped from Plank to Plank (875)
His Feet are shod with Gauze (916)
Love—is anterior to Life (917)
If I can stop one Heart from breaking (919)
Struck, was I, not yet by Lightning (925)
The Heart has narrow Banks (928)
Noon—is the Hinge of Day (931)
I felt a Cleaving in my Mind (937)
A Man may make a Remark (952)
A loss of something ever felt I (959)
I was a Phoebe — nothing more (1009)
Bee! I'm expecting you! (1035)
Ashes denote that Fire was (1063 )
Title divine -- is mine! (1072)
The sky is low - the Clouds are mean (1075)
Just Once! Oh least Request! (1076)
These are the Signs to Nature's Inns (1077)
The Bustle in a House (1078)
Superiority to Fate (1081)
If Nature smiles - the Mother must (1085)
My Cocoon tightens - Colors tease (1099)
The Crickets sang (1104)
This slow Day moved along (1120)
Tell all the Truth but tell it slant (1129)
The Wind took up the Northern Things (1134)
The Frost of Death was on the Pane (1136)
The Props assist the House (1142)
Ourselves we do inter (1144)
In thy long Paradise of Light (1145)
Like Trains of Cars on Tracks of Plush (1224)
The Clover's simple Fame (1232)
The Infinite a sudden Guest (1309)
Floss won't save you from an Abyss (1322)
A little Madness in the Spring (1333)
A Bee his burnished Carriage (1339)
Dreams are the subtle Dower - (1376)
Forbidden Fruit a flavor - (1377)
His Mansion in the Pool - (1379)
How much the present moment means - (1380)
In many and reportless places - (1382)
Long Years apart - (1383)
Those cattle smaller than a Bee (1388)
It sounded as if the Streets were running - (1397)
To the stanch Dust - (1402)
Bees are Black (1405)
To mend each tattered Faith - (1442)
Heavenly Father - (1461)
The Sweets of Pillage (1470)
To see the Summer Sky (1472)
Estranged from Beauty (1474)
The Robin is a GabrielIn (1483)
We shall find the Cube (1484)
Her spirit rose (1486)
The Thrill came slowly like a Boom (1495)
Facts by our side (1497)
Its little Ether Hood (1501)
Of whom so dear (1504)
Summer is shorter than any one (1506)
The Pile of Years is not so high (1507)
Mine Enemy is growing old (1509)
How happy is the little Stone (1510)
As imperceptibly as Grief (1540)
Sweet Pirate of the heart (1546)
No Brigadier throughout the Year (1561)
To see her is a Picture (1568)
The Bat is dun (1575)
Blossoms will run away (1578)
He ate and drank the precious Words (1587)
Within that little Hive (1607)
Not knowing when the Dawn will come (1619)
Apparently with no surprise (1624)
The pedigree of honey (1627)
As from the earth the light Balloon (1630)
Take all away from me (1640)
Extol thee — could I? (1643)
Beauty crowds me till I die (1654)
To make a prairie (1755)
Fame is a bee. (1763)
