THE SOUL THAT HAS A GUEST by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: The Emperor of Men
Subject(s): GUESTS;

The Soul that hath a Guest
Doth seldom go abroad -
Diviner Crowd at Home -
Obliterate the need -

And Courtesy forbids
The Host's departure - when
Upon Himself - be visiting
The Emperor of Men
