American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < Hunger
I breathed enough to learn the trick > > >

I asked no other thing

---

I asked no other thing,

No other was denied.

I offered Being for it;

The mighty merchant smiled.

---

Brazil? He twirled a button,

Without a glance my way:

“But, madam, is there nothing else

That we can show to-day?”
