 Emily Dickinson

"Because I could not stop for death..."

Emily Dickinson once wrote.

She used writing and saved her breath.

Eccentric, townspeople did note.

Emily preferred life alone,

And when seen, oft was dressed in white.

In poems she would write of her own

Meeting with death and how she might

Then find her immortality.

Unheralded while she was alive,

Her poems were published after she

Met with death at age 55.

Her published poems then brought her fame.

Immortality for her came.
