Emily Dickinson - He ate and drank the precious Words

He ate and drank the precious Words —
His Spirit grew robust —
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust —

He danced along the dingy Days
And this Bequest of Wings
Was but a Book — What Liberty
A loosened spirit brings —

Poems by Emily Dickinson
Poems published 1890 by Mabel Loomis Todd, T.W. Higginson (eds.)

Death is a Dialogue between

Death is a Dialogue between
The Spirit and the Dust.
'Dissolve' says Death—The Spirit 'Sir
I have another Trust'—

Death doubts it—Argues from the Ground—
The Spirit turns away
Just laying off for evidence
An Overcoat of Clay.

—Emily Dickinson [+]
