Analysis of This Dust, and its Feature
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
This Dust, and its Feature—
Accredited—Today—Will in a second Future—
Cease to identify—
This Mind, and its measure—
A too minute Area
For its enlarged inspection's
Comparison—appear—
This World, and its species
A too concluded show
For its absorbed Attention's
Remotest scrutiny—
