Emily Dickinson
10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts
STEP lightly on this narrow spot
LIKE THIS POEM
STEP lightly on this narrow spot!
The broadest land that grows
Is not so ample as the breast
These emerald seams enclose.
Step lofty; for this name is told
As far as cannon dwell,
Or flag subsist, or fame export
Her deathless syllable.
