Emily Dickinson - I read my sentence—steadily

412 br br I read my sentence—steadily— br Reviewed it with my eyes, br To see that I made no mistake br In its extremest clause— br The Date, and manner, of the shame— br And then the Pious Form br That "God have mercy" on the Soul br The Jury voted Him— br I made my soul familiar—with her extremity— br That at the last, it should not be a novel Agony— br But she, and Death, acquainted— br Meet tranquilly, as friends— br Salute, and pass, without a Hint— br And there, the Matter ends—br br Emily Dickinsonbr br
