Classic poem

Death leaves Us homesick, who behind,

by Emily Dickinson

Death leaves Us homesick, who behind,

Except that it is gone

Are ignorant of its Concern

As if it were not born.

Through all their former Places, we

Like Individuals go

Who something lost, the seeking for

Is all that's left them, now --

death
