Is a divine intemperance
A prudent man would shun.

Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.Emily Dickinson
So give me back to Death --

Except that it deprived of thee --

In my own Grave I breathe
And estimate its size --
Its size is all that Hell can guess --
And all that Heaven was --

Let every babbler be
The only secret people keep
Is Immortality.

A Soul had gone to Heaven
Would seem to me the more the way
A Good News should be given.

Upon thine arrow hang!
