Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part One: Life

XXII

I HAD no time to hate, because

The grave would hinder me,

And life was not so ample I

Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love; but since

Some industry must be,

The little toil of love, I thought,

Was large enough for me.
