Emily Dickinson – XCVI – MY life closed twice before its close

(96)


MY life closed twice before its close;
   It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
   A third event to me,

 

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
   As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
   And all we need of hell.
