Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

Do People moulder equally,

by Emily Dickinson

Do People moulder equally,

They bury, in the Grave?

I do believe a Species

As positively live

As I, who testify it

Deny that I -- am dead --

And fill my Lungs, for Witness --

From Tanks -- above my Head --

I say to you, said Jesus --

That there be standing here --

A Sort, that shall not taste of Death --

If Jesus was sincere --

I need no further Argue --

That statement of the Lord

Is not a controvertible --

He told me, Death was dead --
