Sweet Pirate of the heart

Sweet Pirate of the heart,

Not Pirate of the Sea,

What wrecketh thee?

Some spice's Mutiny —

Some Attar's perfidy?

Confide in me.

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
