I WENT TO THANK HER, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: But turning back 't was slow Subject(s): Gratitude | |||
I went to thank her, But she slept ; Her bed a funnelled stone, With nosegays at the head and foot, That travellers had thrown, Who went to thank her ; But she slept. 'T was short to cross the sea To look upon her like, alive, But turning back 't was slow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO COUNTRIES by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE THE PLACE I WANT TO GET BACK TO by MARY OLIVER AFTER A NOISY NIGHT by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR FOUNTAIN IN AVIGNON by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THANK YOU FOR SAYING THANK YOU by CHARLES BERNSTEIN INVENTORY by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE TWELVE-FORTY-FIVE (FOR EDWARD J.
