The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson

For Death—or rather
For the Things ’twould buy—
This—put away
Life’s Opportunity—

The Things that Death will buy
Are Room—
Escape from Circumstances—
And a Name—

With Gifts of Life
How Death’s Gifts may compare—
We know not—
For the Rates—lie Here—
