The Sea

Published 01/07/1880

AN everywhere of silver,

With ropes of sand

To keep it from effacing

The track called land.

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