Sweet — You forgot — but I remembered
Every time — for Two —
So that the Sum be never hindered
Through Decay of You —
Say if I erred? Accuse my Farthings —
Blame the little Hand
Happy it be for You — a Beggar’s —
Seeking More — to spend —
Just to be Rich — to waste my Guineas
On so Best a Heart —
Just to be Poor — for Barefoot Vision
You — Sweet — Shut me out —
(Emily Dickinson)
