A poem by Emily Dickinson

The Mystery Of Pain

________________________________________________
Title:     The Mystery Of Pain
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.






[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Mystery Of Pain
