SHE WENT AS QUIET AS THE DEW by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: It's sorer to believe!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEW;
She went as quiet as the dew
From a familiar flower.
Not like the dew did she return
At the accustomed hour!

She dropt as softly as a star
From out my summer's eve;
Less skilful than Leverrier
It's sorer to believe!
