Cocoon

DRAB habitation of whom?

Tabernacle or tomb,

Or dome of worm,

Or porch of gnome,

Or some elf's catacomb?

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
