I’m nobody! Who are you? – Emily Dickinson

I Am Nobody! Who Are You?

Are you nobody, too?

How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog! – Emily Dickinson

Short Poem of Emily Dickinson 

Tell all the truth but tell it slant–

Success in circuit lies too bright

for our infirm delight.

dazzle gradually Or every man be blind–

May – Flower

Pink, small, and punctual, aromatic,

Nature forswears antiquity. – Emily Dickinson

One clover, and a bee, and revery.

Emily Dickinson Poems Short

Wild nights – Wild nights!

Were I with thee

Wild nights should be

Our luxury!


Futile – the winds –

To a Heart in port –

Done with the Compass –

Done with the Chart!


Rowing in Eden –

Ah – the Sea!

Might I but moor – tonight –

In thee!


Because I could not stop for Death Poem

Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me.

The carriage held but just ourselves

And immortality.


We passed the school where children played,

Their laughter filled the air.

We drove beyond the fields of grain,

Where farmers toiled with care.


We paused beside the setting sun,

Its warmth upon our face.

We watched it sink beyond the hills,

In its eternal grace.


Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me.

He took me on a journey grand,

A voyage to eternity.


We traveled through the starlit night,

With moon as our guide.

The galaxies stretched out before us,

In all their splendor wide.


We soared through realms of dreams and hopes,

Where time had lost its hold.

No mortal worries, no earthly bounds,

Just wonders to unfold.


Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me.

And as we reached the end of time,

He whispered, “You are free.”


I stepped out of the carriage then,

Into a realm unknown.

But Death had been a gentle guide,

A friend I’d always known.


For in the end, Death is not the end,

But a passage to the unknown.

A journey we all must undertake,

When our mortal ties are blown.


So fear not Death’s beckoning call,

Embrace it with no dread.

For in its grasp, we find release,

And peace for souls once fed.
