XXXVII. The dying need but little, dear, — A glass of water's all, A flower's unobtrusive face To punctuate the wall, A fan, perhaps, a friend's regret, And certainly that one No color in the rainbow Perceives when you are gone.

About Emily Dickinson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.

My best Acquaintances are those
With Whom I spoke no Word

And I, could I stand by
And see you freeze,
Without my right of frost,
Death's privilege?

Bloom — is Result — to meet a Flower
And casually glance
Would scarcely cause one to suspect

Assisting in the Bright Affair
So intricately done

Great Nature not to disappoint
Awaiting Her that Day — To be a Flower, is profound
Responsibility —
