THE SOUL UNTO ITSELF by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: The Soul should stand in Awe
Subject(s): SOUL;

The Soul unto itself
Is an imperial friend -
Or the most agonizing Spy -
An Enemy - could send -

Secure against its own -
No treason it can fear -
Itself - its Sovereign - Of itself
The Soul should stand in Awe
