Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 78. A throe upon the features

A throe upon the features

A hurry in the breath,

An ecstasy of parting

Denominated "Death," --


An anguish at the mention,

Which, when to patience grown,

I 've known permission given

To rejoin its own.
