EMILY DICKINSON
49 I never lost as much but twice,
67 Success is counted sweetest
130 These are the days when Birds come back-
185 "Faith" is a fine invention
214 I taste a liquor never brewed-
216 Safe in their Alabaster Chambers-
241 I like a look of Agony,
280 I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
303 The Soul selects her own Society-
315 Hę fumbles at your Soul
328 A Bird came down the Walk-
435 Much Madness is divinest Sense-
441 This is my letter to the World
449 I died for Beauty-but was scarce
465 I heard a Fly buzz-when I died-
501 This World is not Conclusion.
520 I started Early-Took my Dog-
709 Publication-is the Auction
712 Because I could not stop for Death-
986 A narrow Fellow in the Grass
1078 The Bustle in a House
1129 Tell all the truth but tell it slant-
1333 A little Madness in the Spring
1356 The Rat is the concisest Tenant.
1400 What mystery pervades a well!
1545 The Bible is an antique Volume-
1670 In Winter in my Room
