Contrast

________________________________________________
Title:     Contrast
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

A door just opened on a street --
I, lost, was passing by --
An instant's width of warmth disclosed,
And wealth, and company.

The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by, --
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Contrast
