Emily Dickinson

Poor little Heart!
Did they forget thee?
Then dinna care! Then dinna care!

Proud little Heart!
Did they forsake thee?
Be debonnaire! Be debonnaire!

Frail little Heart!
I would not break thee
Could'st
credit me? Could'st credit me?

Gay little Heart-
Like Morning Glory!
Wind and Sun-wilt thee array!

Pain and Despair Sadness and Melancholy
