Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

ALL but Death can be
Adjusted;
Dynasties repaired,
Systems settled in their
Sockets,
Centuries removed,—

Wastes of lives resown
With colors
By superior springs,
Death—unto itself exception—
Is exempt from change.

1. On the Tleakness of My Lot
2. Possession
3. The Moon Is Distant from the Sea
4. Triumph
5. Going
