We do not play on Graves — Because there isn't Room — Besides — it isn't even — it slants
And People come — And put a Flower on it — And hang their faces so — We're fearing that their Hearts will drop — And crush our pretty play — And so we move as far
As Enemies — away — Just looking round to see how far

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.

You left me, sweet, two legacies, — A legacy of love A Heavenly Father would content, Had he the offer of; You left me boundaries of pain Capacious as the sea, Between eternity and time, Your consciousness and me. — Emily Dickinson
