Emily Dickinson

I felt my danger & was alarmed, but I had rambled too far to return & ever since my heart has been growing harder.

She died--this was the way she died And when her breath was done, Took up her simple wardrobe And started for the sun. Her little figure at the gate The angels must have spied, Since I could never find her Upon the mortal side.
