To Love Thee Year By Year Poem by Emily Dickinson

To Love Thee Year By Year

Rating: 3.1

To love thee Year by Year—
May less appear
Than sacrifice, and cease—
However, dear,
Forever might be short, I thought to show—
And so I pieced it, with a flower, now.

She seems afraid of loving. Did she give up or did she contiue to love. She is complicated to understand. - To love the year by year - May less appear. It kind of makes you wonder if she is questioning love and the person whom she loves.
