There Is A Shame Of Nobleness

Title:     There Is A Shame Of Nobleness
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

There is a shame of nobleness
Confronting sudden pelf, --
A finer shame of ecstasy
Convicted of itself.

A best disgrace a brave man feels,
Acknowledged of the brave, --
One more "Ye Blessed" to be told;
But this involves the grave.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: There Is A Shame Of Nobleness
