A poem by Emily Dickinson

Real

________________________________________________
Title:     Real
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I like a look of agony,
Because I know it 's true;
Men do not sham convulsion,
Nor simulate a throe.

The eyes glaze once, and that is death.
Impossible to feign
The beads upon the forehead
By homely anguish strung.







[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Real
