Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Death and Life

Apparently with no surprise
To any happy flower,
The frost beheads it at its play
In accidental power.
The blond assassin passes on,
The sun proceeds unmoved
To measure off another day
For an approving God.

3. Resurgam
4. The Martyrs
5. Surgeons Must Be Very Careful
