THE DYING NEED BUT LITTLE, DEAR by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Perceive, when you are gone
Subject(s): DEATH;
The Dying need but little, Dear,
A Glass of Water's all,
A Flower's unobtrusive Face
To punctuate the Wall,

A Fan, perhaps, a Friend's Regret
And Certainty that one
No color in the Rainbow
Perceive, when you are gone
