Beauty, mercy have on me!

But if I expire today,

Let it be in sight of thee.

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
