Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson

H 309a 
Savior! I've no one else 
to tell -
And so I trouble thee.
I am the one forgot 
thee so -
Dost thou remember 
me?
Nor, for myself, I 
came so far -
That were the little 
load -
I brought thee the 
imperial Heart
I had not strength
H 309b

 
to hold -
The Heart I carried 
in my own -
Till mine too heavy 
grew -
Yet - strangest - heavier 
since it went -
Is it too large for 
you?
