A march in the ranks hard-prest, and the road unknown 95
A sight in camp in the daybreak gray and dim 96
The Wound-Dresser 96
Give me the splendid silent sun 99
FROM Memories of President Lincoln 100
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd 100
FROM Autumn Rivulets
There was a child went forth 107
Passage to India 108
The Sleepers 116
FROM Whispers of Heavenly Death
Chanting the square deific 123
A noiseless patient spider 124
FROM Noon to Starry Night
To a Locomotive in Winter 125
FROM Good-Bye My Fancy

EMILY DICKINSON 148
(1830 - 1886)
49 I never lost as much but twice 150
67 Success is counted sweetest 150
125 For each ecstatic instant 150
130 These are the days when Birds come back 151
165 A Wounded Deer - leaps highest 151
185 "Faith" is a fine invention 152
210 The thought beneath so slight a film 152
214 I taste a liquor never brewed 152
216 Safe in their Alabaster Chambers 152
241 I like a look of Agony 153
249 Wild Nights- Wild Nights! 153
258 There's a certain Slant of light 153
280 I felt a Funeral, in my Brain 154
287 A clock stopped 154
303 The soul selects her own society 155
324 Some keep the Sabbath going to Church 155
328 A Bird came down the Walk 156
338 I know that He exists 156
341 After great pain, a formal feeling comes 157
401 What Soft - Cherubic Creatures 157
414 'Twas like a Maelstrom, with a notch 157
435 Much Madness is divinest Sense 158
