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. Our Journey Had Advanced
2. We Learned the Whole of Love
3. Doom is the House without the Door
4. Should You but Fail at — Sea
5. I Send Two Sunsets
