" "
Bless God, he went as soldiers,
His musket on his breast — Grant God, he charge the bravest
Of all the martial blest!

Please God, might I behold him
In epauletted white — I should not fear the foe then — I should not fear the fight!

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.

Additional quotes by Emily Dickinson

Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

This world is not conclusion.
A species stands beyond -
Invisible, as Music -
But positive as Sound
