Emily Dickinson Anthology


258 There’s a certain Slant of light
280 I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
328 A Bird came down the Walk –
341 After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
465 I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –
494 Going to Him! Happy letter!
501 This World is not Conclusion
510 It was not Death, for I stood up
670 One need not be a Chamber – to be Haunted –
721 Behind Me – dips Eternity –
754 My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun –
986 A narrow Fellow in the Grass
1100 The last Night that She lived
1400 What mystery pervades a well!

Dickinson did not give titles to her poems. Poems are identified by first lines and numbers.
