Hope [Hope is a subtle glutton]

Title:     Hope [Hope is a subtle glutton]
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Hope is a subtle glutton;
He feeds upon the fair;
And yet, inspected closely,
What abstinence is there!

His is the halcyon table
That never seats but one,
And whatsoever is consumed
The same amounts remain.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Hope
