A Coffin'is A Small Domain

943

A Coffin-is a small Domain,
Yet able to contain
A Citizen of Paradise
In it diminished Plane.

A Grave-is a restricted Breadth-
Yet ampler than the Sun-
And all the Seas He populates
And Lands He looks upon

To Him who on its small Repose
Bestows a single Friend-
Circumference without Relief-
Or Estimate-or End-

Emily Dickinson
