A poem by Emily Dickinson

Time's Lesson

________________________________________________
Title:     Time's Lesson
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Mine enemy is growing old, --
I have at last revenge.
The palate of the hate departs;
If any would avenge, --

Let him be quick, the viand flits,
It is a faded meat.
Anger as soon as fed is dead;
'T is starving makes it fat.






[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Time's Lesson
