SHE LAID HER DOCILE CRESCENT DOWN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Before its emblem flew
Subject(s): DEATH;
She laid her docile Crescent down
And this confiding Stone
Still states to Dates that have forgot
The News that she is gone -

So constant to its stolid trust,
The Shaft that never knew -
It shames the Constancy that fled
Before its emblem flew
