IMMORTAL IS AN AMPLE WORD by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: It had been Heaven below
Subject(s): IMMORTALITY;
Immortal is an ample word
When what we need is by
But when it leaves us for a time
'Tis a necessity.

Of Heaven above the firmest proof
We fundamental know
Except for its marauding Hand
It had been Heaven below.
