Emily Dickinson Heart Poems

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
...

78

A poor—torn heart—a tattered heart—
That sat it down to rest—
...

587

Empty my Heart, of Thee—
Its single Artery—
...

Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
...

Have you got a Brook in your little heart,
Where bashful flowers blow,
...

The heart asks pleasure first
And then, excuse from pain-
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering;
...

176

I'm the little "Heart's Ease"!
I don't care for pouting skies!
...

192

Poor little Heart!
Did they forget thee?
...

Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night
Had scarcely deigned to lie—
...

83

Heart, not so heavy as mine
Wending late home—
...

145

This heart that broke so long—
These feet that never flagged—
...

His Heart was darker than the starless night
For that there is a morn
But in this black Receptacle
Can be no Bode of Dawn
...

It's thoughts—and just One Heart—
And Old Sunshine—about—
Make frugal—Ones—Content—
And two or three—for Company—
...

The Heart has narrow Banks
It measures like the Sea
...

Proud of my broken heart, since thou didst break it.
Proud of the pain, I did not feel? till thee.
...

Not with a club, the Heart is broken,
Nor with a stone;
A whip, so small you could not see it,
...

Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
...
