Analysis of Perhaps you think me stooping
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Perhaps you think me stooping
I'm not ashamed of that
Christ—stooped until He touched the Grave—
Do those at Sacrament
Commemorative Dishonor
Or love annealed of love
Until it bend as low as Death
Redignified, above?
