Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

A Country Burial

Ample make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise' yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.

1. There Is a Shame of Nobleness
2. Till the End
3. Two Swimmers Wrestled on the Spar
4. As Summer into Autumn Slips
5. Unto My Books So Good to Turn
