Portraits are to daily faces

As an evening west

To a fine, pedantic sunshine

In a satin vest.

Because I Could Not Stop for Death
I'm nobody! Who are you?
I Heard a Fly Buzz — When I Died
I felt a funeral in my brain
I died for beauty, but was scarce
The heart asks pleasure first
A Bird Came Down the Walk
As imperceptibly as grief
Wild nights! Wild nights!
I Dwell in Possibility
