Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 98. Not any higher stands the grave

Not any higher stands the grave

For heroes than for men;

Not any nearer for the child

Than numb three-score and ten.


This latest leisure equal lulls

The beggar and his queen;

Propitiate this democrat

By summer's gracious mien.
