Though I than He - may longer live
He longer must - than I -
For I have but the power to kill,
Without - the power to die


My Life had stood a Loaded Gun - The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (1960)


Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die

Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die

Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die

Though I than He - may longer live He longer must - than I - For I have but the power to kill, Without - the power to die
