Emily Dickinson

A2 Unit 2 Section A: The Study of Poetry Pre 1900

Emily Dickinson

  • An awful Tempest mashed the air –
  • I’m “wife” – I’ve finished that –
  • There’s a certain Slant of light,
  • I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
  • How the old Mountains drip with Sunset
  • There came a Day at Summer’s full,
  • I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –
  • It was not Death, for I stood up,
  • I cannot live with You
  • One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted –
  • Because I could not stop for Death –
  • She rose to His Requirement – dropt
  • The last night that She lived
