Poor little Heart!

Emily Dickinson

Poor little Heart!

192

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 theeCould'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
