Poems... VI

Poems by Emily Dickinson

A word is dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.

I say it just
Begins to live
That day.

-------------------------------------------
In this short Life
In this short Life
That only lasts an hour
How much -- how little -- is
Within our power

-------------------------------------------
Love -- is anterior to Life
Love -- is anterior to Life --
Posterior -- to Death --
Initial of Creation, and
The Exponent of Earth --
