I LIVE WITH HIM, I SEE HIS FACE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Be Judgment — what it may
Subject(s): GOD; IMMORTALITY;

I live with Him - I see His face -
I go no more away
For Visitor - or Sundown -
Death's single privacy

The Only One - forestalling Mine -
And that - by Right that He
Presents a Claim invisible -
No wedlock - granted Me -

I live with Him - I hear His Voice -
I stand alive - Today -
To witness to the Certainty
Of Immortality -

Taught Me - by Time - the lower Way -
Conviction - Every day -
That Life like This - is stopless -
Be Judgment - what it may
