Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

* * *

This merit hath the worst, --
It cannot be again.
When Fate hath taunted last
And thrown her furthest stone,

The maimed may pause and breathe,
And glance securely round.
The deer invites no longer
Than it eludes the hound.

1. Contrast
2. The Nearest Dream Recedes, Unrealized
3. In Lands I Never Saw, They Say
4. He Put the Belt around My Life
5. Who Robbed the Woods
