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

Part One: Life

CXVIII

IT dropped so low in my regard
  I heard it hit the ground,
And go to pieces on the stones
  At bottom of my mind;
  
Yet blamed the fate that fractured, less        5
  Than I reviled myself
For entertaining plated wares
  Upon my silver shelf.
