Analysis of It Dropped So Low -- In My Regard --
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
It dropped so low -- in my Regard --
I heard it hit the Ground --
And go to pieces on the Stones
At bottom of my Mind --
Yet blamed the Fate that flung it -- less
Than I denounced Myself,
For entertaining Plated Wares
Upon My Silver Shelf --
