Vanished

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

SHE died,—this was the way she died;

      And when her breath was done,

Took up her simple wardrobe

And started for the sun.


Her little figure at the gate

The angels must have spied,

Since I could never find her

Upon the mortal side.
