Dying! Dying in the night!

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)64 words

Dying! Dying in the night!

Won't somebody bring the light

So I can see which way to go

Into the everlasting snow?

And "Jesus"! Where is Jesus gone?

They said that Jesus -- always came --

Perhaps he doesn't know the House --

This way, Jesus, Let him pass!

Somebody run to the great gate

And see if Dollie's coming! Wait!

I hear her feet upon the stair!

Death won't hurt -- now Dollie's here!
