Fate Slew Him, But He Did Not Drop

Emily Dickinson

1031

Fate slew Him, but He did not drop-
She felled-He did not fall-
Impaled Him on Her fiercest stakes-
He neutralized them all-

She stung Him-sapped His firm Advance-
But when Her Worst was done
And He-unmoved regarded Her-
Acknowledged Him a Man.
