The Funeral

________________________________________________
Title:     The Funeral
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

That short, potential stir
That each can make but once,
That bustle so illustrious
'T is almost consequence,

Is the eclat of death.
Oh, thou unknown renown
That not a beggar would accept,
Had he the power to spurn!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: The Funeral
