Disenchantment

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

IT dropped so low in my regard

      I heard it hit the ground,

And go to pieces on the stones

      At bottom of my mind;


Yet blamed the fate that fractured, less

      Than I reviled myself

For entertaining plated wares

      Upon my silver shelf.
