Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

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.

1. Deed
2. Remorse
3. Time's Lesson
4. The Shelter
5. When I Hoped I Feared
