A poem by Emily Dickinson

I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Know

________________________________________________
Title:     I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Know
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I lived on dread; to those who know
The stimulus there is
In danger, other impetus
Is numb and vital-less.

As 't were a spur upon the soul,
A fear will urge it where
To go without the spectre's aid
Were challenging despair.






[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Know
