Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Lost Faith

To lose one's faith surpasses
  The loss of an estate,
Because estates can be
  Replenished, -- faith cannot.

Inherited with life,
  Belief but once can be;
Annihilate a single clause,
  And Being's beggary.

1. What Soft, Cherubic Creatures
2. Desire
3. Lay This Laurel on the One
4. Is Bliss, Then, Such Abyss
5. Thanksgiving Day
