  1. EMILY DICKINSON XIII

  2. THE SOUL selects her own society, • Then shuts the door; • On her divine majority • Obtrude no more.

  3. Unmoved, she notes the chariot’s pausing At her low gate; • Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling • Upon her mat.

  4. I ’ve known her from an ample nation • Choose one; • Then close the valves of her attention • Like stone.

  5. Because I Could Not Stop For Death • Because I could not stop for Death, • He kindly stopped for me; • The carriage held but just ourselves • And Immortality.

  6. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, • And I had put away • My labor, and my leisure too, • For his civility.

  7. We passed the school where children played, • Their lessons scarcely done; • We passed the fields of gazing grain, • We passed the setting sun.

  8. We paused before a house that seemed • A swelling of the ground; • The roof was scarcely visible. • The cornice but a mound.

  9. Since then 'tis centuries but each • Feels shorter than the day • I first surmised the horses' heads • Were toward eternity.

  10. Hope is the Thing with Feathers • "Hope" is the thing with feathers • That perches in the soul • And sings the tune without the words • And never stops at all,

  11. And sweetest in the gale is heard; • And sore must be the storm • That could abash the little bird • That kept so many warm.

  12. I've heard it in the chillest land • And on the strangest sea, • Yet never, in extremity, • It asked a crumb of me.

  13. The Road Not Taken Robert Frost

  14. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, • And sorry I could not travel both • And be one traveler, long I stood • And looked down one as far as I could • To where it bent in the undergrowth;

  15. Then took the other, as just as fair, • And having perhaps the better claim • Because it was grassy and wanted wear, • Though as for that the passing there • Had worn them really about the same,

  16. And both that morning equally lay • In leaves no step had trodden black. • Oh, I kept the first for another day! • Yet knowing how way leads on to way • I doubted if I should ever come back.

  17. I shall be telling this with a sigh • Somewhere ages and ages hence: • Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, • I took the one less traveled by, • And that has made all the difference.

  18. FIRE AND ICE • Some say the world will end in fire, • Some say in ice. • From what I've tasted of desire • I hold with those who favor fire. • But if it had to perish twice,

  19. I think I know enough of hate • To say that for destruction ice • Is also great • And would suffice.
