Analysis of I lost a World - the other day!
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
I lost a World - the other day!
Has Anybody found?
You'll know it by the Row of Stars
Around its forehead bound.
A Rich man—might not notice it—
Yet—to my frugal Eye,
Of more Esteem than Ducats—
Oh find it—Sir—for me!
