I MEANT TO FIND HER WHEN I CAME by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: To Memory — and Me
Subject(s): DEATH; MEMORY;
I meant to find Her when I came -
Death - had the same design -
But the Success - was His - it seems -
And the Surrender - Mine -

I meant to tell Her how I longed
For just this single time -
But Death had told Her so the first -
And she had past, with Him -

To wander - now - is my Repose -
To rest - To rest would be
A privilege of Hurricane
To Memory - and Me.
