BECAUSE 'TWAS RICHES I COULD OWN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: UNTO A MISER'S EAR

Because 'twas Riches I could own,
Myself had earned it - Me,
I knew the Dollars by their names -
It feels like Poverty


An Earldom out of sight to hold,
An Income in the Air,
Possession - has a sweeter chink
Unto a Miser's Ear
