Emily Dickinson Work Poems

It is easy to work when the soul is at play—
But when the soul is in pain—

Some—Work for Immortality—
The Chiefer part, for Time—

But are not known to earn -
Paid after they have ceased to work
In Infamy or Urn -
...

The Work of Her that went,
The Toil of Fellows done -
In Ovens green our Mother bakes,
By Fires of the Sun.
