A poem by Emily Dickinson

A Modest Lot, A Fame Petite

________________________________________________
Title:     A Modest Lot, A Fame Petite
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

A modest lot, a fame petite,
A brief campaign of sting and sweet
Is plenty! Is enough!
A sailor's business is the shore,
A soldier's -- balls. Who asketh more
Must seek the neighboring life!








[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Modest Lot, A Fame Petite
