A POEM WHICH SUSAN DICKINSON SELECTED FOR EMILY'S OBITUARY NOTICE A relatively early work of the poet, written in ink in her typically light hand: "Morns like these - we parted. Noons like these - she rose Fluttering first - then firmer - To her faint repose. Never did she lisp it - And 'twas not for me - She was mute from transport - I - from agony - Till - the evening nearing, One the Curtains drew - Quick! A sharper rustling! And this Linnet flew!" The last stanza of the poem was selected by Susan Dickinson for publication at the conclusion of the obituary notice she wrote for Emily which was published in the Springfield Republican , 18 May 1886, the day before Emily's burial. The work was was later collected in Poems (1891), 186, and in Poems , ed. Thomas H. Johnson, Cambridge 1955, 27, noting two variant readings ("It was" for "And 'twas" in line 6 and "shutters" for "curtains" in line 10) and small differences in terminal punctuation and capitalization.
