Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 70. She died, - this was the way she died

VANISHED.


She died, -- this was the way she died;

And when her breath was done,

Took up her simple wardrobe

And started for the sun.


Her little figure at the gate

The angels must have spied,

Since I could never find her

Upon the mortal side.
