More poems on Death

OF Death the sharpest function
BY
Emily Dickinson


Buy Emily Dickinson's Works


OF Death the sharpest function,
That, just as we discern,
The Excellence defies us;
Securest gathered then
The fruit perverse to plucking,
But leaning to the sight
With the ecstatic limit
Of unobtained Delight.
