Heart, We Will Forget Him Poem by Emily Dickinson

Heart, We Will Forget Him

Rating: 4.8


Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging
I may remember him!

Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging I may remember him! ....these lines make me smile....if there is any sorrow embedded, I'm sorry still I smile... Emily, you are great
