By a flower -- By a letter

© Emily Dickinson

By a flower -- By a letter --
By a nimble love --
If I weld the Rivet faster --
Final fast -- above --

By a departing light

© Emily Dickinson

By a departing light
We see acuter, quite,
Than by a wick that stays.
There's something in the flight
That clarifies the sight
And decks the rays.

But little Carmine hath her face --

© Emily Dickinson

But little Carmine hath her face --
Of Emerald scant -- her Gown --
Her Beauty -- is the love she doth --
Itself -- exhibit -- Mine --

Bound -- a trouble

© Emily Dickinson

Bound -- a trouble --
And lives can bear it!
Limit -- how deep a bleeding go!
So -- many -- drops -- of vital scarlet --
Deal with the soul
As with Algebra!

Blossoms will run away,

© Emily Dickinson

Blossoms will run away,
Cakes reign but a Day,
But Memory like Melody
Is pink Eternally.

Bloom upon the Mountain -- stated --

© Emily Dickinson

Bloom upon the Mountain -- stated --
Blameless of a Name --
Efflorescence of a Sunset --
Reproduced -- the same --

Bloom -- is Result -- to meet a Flower

© Emily Dickinson

Bloom -- is Result -- to meet a Flower
And casually glance
Would scarcely cause one to suspect
The minor Circumstance

Bind me -- I still can sing --

© Emily Dickinson

Bind me -- I still can sing --
Banish -- my mandolin
Strikes true within --

Better -- than Music! For I -- who heard it --

© Emily Dickinson

Better -- than Music! For I -- who heard it --
I was used -- to the Birds -- before --
This -- was different -- 'Twas Translation --
Of all tunes I knew -- and more --

Betrothed to Righteousness might be

© Emily Dickinson

Betrothed to Righteousness might be
An Ecstasy discreet
But Nature relishes the Pinks
Which she was taught to eat --

Best Things dwell out of Sight

© Emily Dickinson

Best Things dwell out of Sight
The Pearl -- the Just -- Our Thought.Most shun the Public Air
Legitimate, and Rare --The Capsule of the Wind
The Capsule of the MindExhibit here, as doth a Burr --

Best Gains -- must have the Losses' Test --

© Emily Dickinson

Best Gains -- must have the Losses' Test --
To constitute them -- Gains --

Besides this May

© Emily Dickinson

Besides this May
We know
There is Another --
How fair
Our Speculations of the Foreigner!

Besides the Autumn poets sing

© Emily Dickinson

Besides the Autumn poets sing
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze --

Bereavement in their death to feel

Bereavement in their death to feel
Whom We have never seen --
A Vital Kinsmanship import
Our Soul and theirs -- between --

Bereaved of all, I went abroad --

Bereaved of all, I went abroad --
No less bereaved was I
Upon a New Peninsula --
The Grave preceded me --

Belshazzar had a Letter --

Belshazzar had a Letter --
He never had but one --
Belshazzar's Correspondent
Concluded and begun

Behold this little Bane --

Behold this little Bane --
The Boon of all alive --
As common as it is unknown
The name of it is Love --

Before you thought of Spring

Before you thought of Spring
Except as a Surmise
You see -- God bless his suddenness --
A Fellow in the Skies

Before I got my eye put out

Before I got my eye put out
I liked as well to see --
As other Creatures, that have Eyes
And know no other way --
