Analysis of Too little way the House must lie
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Too little way the House must lie
From every Human Heart
That holds in undisputed Lease
A white inhabitant—
Too narrow is the Right between—
Too imminent the chance—
Each Consciousness must emigrate
And lose its neighbor once—
