So set its sun in thee

What day is dark to me—

What distance far,

So I the ships may see

That touch how seldomly

Thy shore?

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
