Too scanty ’twas to die for you

1013

Too scanty ’twas to die for you,

The merest Greek could that.

The living, Sweet, is costlier—

I offer even that—

The Dying, is a trifle, past,

But living, this include

The dying multifold—without

The Respite to be dead.

Written by

Emily Dickinson

1830-1886 / Female / American
