WE THIRST AT FIRST, - 'TIS NATURE'S ACT by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Termed Immortality
Subject(s): WATER;
We thirst at first - 'tis Nature's Act -
And later - when we die -
A little Water supplicate -
Of fingers going by -

It intimates the finer want -
Whose adequate supply
Is that Great Water in the West -
Termed Immortality
