Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 40. I never lost as much but twice

I never lost as much but twice,

And that was in the sod;

Twice have I stood a beggar

Before the door of God!


Angels, twice descending,

Reimbursed my store.

Burglar, banker, father,

I am poor once more!
