LOST FAITH - To lose one's faith surpasses

To lose one's faith surpasses
The loss of an estate,
Because estates can be
Replenished, -- faith cannot.

Inherited with life,
Belief but once can be;
Annihilate a single clause,
And Being's beggary.

A DAY - I'll tell you how the sun rose

I'll tell you how the sun rose, -- / A ribbon at a time.

Emily Dickinson

CALLED BACK - Just lost when I was saved!

Just lost when I was saved! / Just felt the world go by!

Emily Dickinson

As imperceptibly as grief

As imperceptibly as grief / The summer lapsed away, --

Emily Dickinson

FORGOTTEN - There is a word

There is a word / Which bears a sword
