American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < There’s been a death in the opposite house
They say that ‘time assuages > > >

There is a shame of nobleness

---

There is a shame of nobleness

Confronting sudden pelf, —

A finer shame of ecstasy

Convicted of itself.

---

A best disgrace a brave man feels,

Acknowledged of the brave, —

One more “Ye Blessed” to be told;

But this involves the grave.
