Poems by Emily Dickinson, Three Series, Complete
Emily Dickinson, 1890
Short poems that fit in a single scroll and still leave you rearranging your view of hope, fear, nature and death. Read them slowly, once aloud, and they get stranger.
Emily Dickinson
1830–1886
Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems but published fewer than a dozen in her lifetime; her sister Lavinia found the rest in a locked chest after Emily died in 1886.
Feels like death, wonder and nature.
What keeps singing in the worst weather and never sends a bill.
Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soul,And sings the tune without the words,And never stops at all,And sweetest in the gale is heard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm.I ‘ve heard it in the chillest land,And on the strangest sea;Yet, never, in extremity,It asked a crumb of me.
