This Heart That Broke So Long

Emily Dickinson

145

This heart that broke so long-
These feet that never flagged-
This faith that watched for star in vain,
Give gently to the dead-

Hound cannot overtake the Hare
That fluttered panting, here-
Nor any schoolboy rob the nest
Tenderness builded there.
