If I shouldn't be alive
When the Robins come,
Give the one in Red Cravat,
A Memorial crumb.

If I couldn't thank you,
Being fast asleep,
You will know I'm trying
Why my Granite lip!

***

A Toad, can die of Light -
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men -
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege -
Why swagger, then?
The Gnat's supremacy is large as Thine -

Life - is a different Thing -
So measure Wine -
Naked of Flask - Naked of Cask -
Bare Rhine -
Which Ruby's mine?


The best from Emily Dickinson.
