I'M 'WIFE' - I'VE FINISHED THAT by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: "I'm ""Wife""! Stop there!"
Subject(s): SPINSTERS; YOUTH;
I'm "wife" - I've finished that -

That other state -

I'm Czar - I'm "Woman" now -

It's safer so -



How odd the Girl's life looks

Behind this soft Eclipse -

I think that Earth feels so

To folks in Heaven - now -



This being comfort - then

That other kind - was pain -

But why compare?

I'm "Wife"! Stop there!
