441 This is my letter to the World 158
448 This was a Poet - It is That 159
449 I died for Beauty- but was scarce 159
465 I heard a Fly buzz- when I died 159
510 It was not Death, for I stood up 160
520 I started Early- Took my Dog 161
585 I like to see it lap the Miles 161
613 They shut me up in Prose 162
632 The Brain - is wider than the sky 162
I cannot live with You 162
Pain - has an Element of Blank 164
I dwell in Possibility 164
One need not be a Chamber- to be Haunted 164
Publication - is the auction 165
Because I could not stop for Death 165
She rose to His Requirement- dropt 166
Renunciation - is a piercing Virtue 166
My life had stood - a Loaded Gun 167
Presentiment - is that long Shadow - on the lawn 168
Death is a dialogue between 168
A narrow Fellow in the Grass 168
I never saw a Moor 169
The bustle in a House 169
Tell all the truth but tell it slant 169
He preached upon "breadth" till it argued him narrow 169
A Route of Evanescence 170
The Bible is an antique Volume 170
Apparently wish no surprise 170
In Winter in my Room 170
My life closed twice before its close 171
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee 172
Elysium is as far as to 172
