If I should cease to bring a Rose

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)38 words

If I should cease to bring a Rose

Upon a festal day,

'Twill be because beyond the Rose

I have been called away --

If I should cease to take the names

My buds commemorate --

'Twill be because Death's finger

Claps my murmuring lip!
