American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < I went to thank her
I wonder if the sepulchre > > >

I wish I knew that woman’s name

---

I wish I knew that woman’s name,

   So, when she comes this way,

To hold my life, and hold my ears,

   For fear I hear her say

---

She’s ‘sorry I am dead,’ again,

   Just when the grave and I

Have sobbed ourselves almost to sleep, —

   Our only lullaby.

I wonder if the sepulchre > > >
