Thirst

Title:     Thirst
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

We thirst at first, -- 't is Nature's act;
And later, when we die,
A little water supplicate
Of fingers going by.

It intimates the finer want,
Whose adequate supply
Is that great water in the west
Termed immortality.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Thirst
