Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Two: Love 2. You left me, sweet, two legacies

BEQUEST.


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.
