Title:     Talk With Prudence To A Beggar
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Talk with prudence to a beggar
Of 'Potosi' and the mines!
Reverently to the hungry
Of your viands and your wines!

Cautious, hint to any captive
You have passed enfranchised feet!
Anecdotes of air in dungeons
Have sometimes proved deadly sweet!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Talk With Prudence To A Beggar
