HEART NOT SO HEAVY AS MINE, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: I pray you pass once more Subject(s): Music & Musicians | |||
Heart, not so heavy as mine Wending late home - As it passed my window Whistled itself a tune - A careless snatch - a ballad - A ditty of the street - Yet to my irritated Ear An Anodyne so sweet - It was as if a Bobolink Sauntering this way Carolled, and paused, and carolled - Then bubbled slow away! It was as if a chirping brook Upon a dusty way - Set bleeding feet to minuets Without the knowing why! Tomorrow, night will come again - Perhaps, weary and sore - Ah Bugle! By my window I pray you pass once more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINER NOTES TO AN IMAGINARY PLAYLIST by TERRANCE HAYES VARIATIONS: 13 by CONRAD AIKEN BELIEVE, BELIEVE by BOB KAUFMAN ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES THE POWER OF MUSIC by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES FAITH' IS A FINE INVENTION by EMILY DICKINSON |
