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.

2. I Have a King Who Does Not Speak
3. I Know a Place Where Summer Strives
4. Pompless No Life Can Pass Away
5. Saturday Afternoon
