Wild Nights- wild Nights
I felt a funeral in my brain
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
The Soul selects Her own Society
Before I got my eye put Out
What Soft- Cherubic Creatures
This is my letter to the world
They shut me up in Prose
I'm ceded- I've stopped being theirs
Publication- Is the auction
Because I could not stop for death
she rose to His Requirement- dropt
My life has stood a loaded gun
rearrange a "Wife's" affection |
