The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
759

He fought like those Who’ve nought to lose—
Bestowed Himself to *****
As One who for a further Life
Had not a further Use—

Invited Death—with bold attempt—
But Death was Coy of Him
As Other Men, were Coy of Death—
To Him—to live—was Doom—

His Comrades, shifted like the Flakes
When Gusts reverse the Snow—
But He—was left alive Because
Of Greediness to die—
