The Heart Asks Pleasure First

Title:     The Heart Asks Pleasure First
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The heart asks pleasure first,
And then, excuse from pain;
And then, those little anodynes
That deaden suffering;

And then, to go to sleep;
And then, if it should be
The will of its Inquisitor,
The liberty to die.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Heart Asks Pleasure First
