I felt a funeral in my brain |
|
My life closed twice |
|
Because I could not stop for death |
|
Much madness is divinest sense |
|
The heart asks pleasure first |
|
After great pain, a formal feeling comes |
|
Just lost when I was saved |
|
I felt a cleaving in my mind |
|
I heard a fly buzz when I died |
|
Pain has an element of blank |
|
Death is like the insect |
