Poem A Day

Classic poem

To lose one's faith -- surpass

by Emily Dickinson

To lose one's faith -- surpass

The loss of an Estate --

Because Estates can be

Replenished -- faith cannot --

Inherited with Life --

Belief -- but once -- can be --

Annihilate a single clause --

And Being's -- Beggary --

faith
