By Emily Dickinson
A Bird, came down the Walk
A Clock stopped—
After great pain, a formal feeling comes
A narrow Fellow in the Grass (1096)
Because I Could Not Stop for Death
"Faith" is a fine invention
Fame Is a Fickle Food (1702)
Hope is a strange invention
I Can Wade Grief
I Felt a Cleaving in my Mind
I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain
If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking
If I should die
If you were coming in the fall
I heard a Fly buzz — when I died
I Like to See It Lap the Miles
I'm Nobody! Who Are You?
Much Madness is divinest Sense—
Success Is Counted Sweetest
Tell all the truth but tell it slant
