About

Born in Massachusetts in 1830, Emily Dickinson composed over 1770 poems; but apart from her closest friends, no-one knew she was writing at all. Only after her death was her astonishing output discovered and published. A reclusive figure for much of her life, few could have imagined the range of her subjects, the intensity of her imagination or the powerful delicacy of her writing. Emily Dickinson is one of America’s greatest writers. This selection includes 147 of her best known poems, and is a perfect introduction to her unique voice.

Forbidden fruit a flavor has - Forever – is composed of Nows

He ate and drank the precious words - He fumbles at your Soul
Track length0:55
He touched me, so I live to know
Track length0:35
Heart not so heavy as mine
Track length0:45
Heart! We will forget him! - Heaven is what I cannot reach!

Heaven is what I cannot reach! - Hope is a subtle glutton

Hope is the thing with feathers - How happy is the little Stone
Track length0:53
How the old Mountains drip with Sunset

I asked no other thing - I bring an unaccustomed wine

I can wade grief
Track length0:31
I cannot live with you

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
Track length0:53
I gave myself to him
Track length0:41
I had no cause to be awake
Track length0:44
I had no time to hate, because I have never seen “Volcanoes”
Track length1:06
I have no life but this - I heard a fly buzz when I died
Track length0:59
I hide myself within my flower - I know a place where summer strives
Track length0:51
I know some lonely houses off the road
Track length1:21
I many times thought peace had come - I meant to find her when I came
Track length0:48
I meant to have but modest needs
Track length1:11
I never saw a moor
Track length0:17
I should not dare to leave my friend
Track length0:43
I stepped from plank to plank
Track length0:18
I taste a liquor never brewed
Track length0:38
I think the hemlock likes to stand
Track length0:35
I took my power in my hand - I went to heaven
Track length0:45
If I can stop one heart from breaking - If I may have it when it’s dead
Track length0:53
If recollecting were forgetting - If you were coming in the fall
Track length1:07
I’ll tell you how the Sun rose
Track length0:36
I’m Nobody! Who are you? - Is Heaven a physician?
Track length0:40
It might be easier - It sounded as if the streets were running
Track length0:29
It tossed and tossed
Track length0:22
It was not Death, for I stood up
Track length0:59
It’s such a little thing to weep - Like Rain it sounded till it curved
Track length0:48
Love is anterior to life - Luck is not chance
Track length0:22
Mine by the right of the white election! - Mine enemy is growing old
Track length0:42
Much madness is divinest sense - My life closed twice before its close
Track length0:41
My Life had stood – a Loaded Gun
Track length0:57
Nature rarer uses yellow - Not knowing when the dawn will come
Track length0:27
Not with a Club, the Heart is broken - Of all the souls that stand create
Track length0:58
On this wondrous sea
Track length0:21
One blessing had I, than the rest
Track length0:50
One need not be a chamber – to be Haunted
Track length0:51
Pain has an element of blank - Proud of my broken heart since thou didst break it
Track length0:34
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers - She died – this was the way she died
Track length0:50
Some keep the Sabbath going to church - Success is counted sweetest
Track length0:59
Surgeons must be very careful - Tell all the truth but tell it slant
Track length0:58
That after Horror
Track length0:34
That I did always love - That Love is all there is
Track length0:33
The brain within its groove - The day came slow till five o’clock
Track length0:56
The Dying need but little, Dear
Track length0:18
The grass so little has to do
Track length0:43
The grave my little cottage is - The heart asks pleasure first
Track length0:35
The leaves, like women, interchange - The moon is distant from the sea
Track length0:47
The one that could repeat the summer day - The pedigree of honey
Track length0:32
The rat is the concisest tenant
Track length0:19
The Soul has Bandaged moments
Track length0:57
The soul should always stand ajar - The spider as an artist
Track length0:34
The waters chased him as he fled
Track length0:23
The way I read a letter’s this
Track length0:36
The wind begun to rock the grass
Track length0:45
There came a Wind like a Bugle - There is no frigate like a book
Track length0:56
There’s a certain slant of light
Track length0:39
There’s been a death in the opposite house
Track length0:50
They might not need me – yet they might - They say that ‘time assuages’
Track length0:32
This is my letter to the world
Track length0:19
This World is not Conclusion
Track length0:45
‘Tis little I could care for pearls
Track length0:17
‘Tis not that Dying hurts us so - To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee
Track length0:46
‘Twas like a Maelstrom, with a notch
Track length0:57
Unable are the Loved to die - We never know how high we are
Track length0:35
We never know we go, – when are we going - What if I say I shall not wait?
Track length0:40
What inn is this - Where Thou art – that
Track length1:08
While I was fearing it, it came - Wild nights! Wild nights!
Track length0:48
Will there really be a morning?
Track length0:28
You left me, sweet, two legacies
Track length0:22
