“A Toad, can die of Light” — Emily Dickinson

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Biblioklept

“A Toad, can die of Light,” a poem by Emily Dickinson:

A Toad, can die of Light —
Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men —
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege —
Why swagger, then?
The Gnat’s supremacy is large as Thine —

Life — is a different Thing —
So measure Wine —
Naked of Flask — Naked of Cask —
Bare Rhine —
Which Ruby’s mine
