Poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

Pain

PAIN--has an Element of Blank--
It cannot recollect
When it begun--or if there were
A time when it was not--

It has no Future--but itself--
Its Infinite Contain
Its Past--enlightened to perceive
New Periods--of Pain. 

1. A Service of Song
2. Love’s Baptism
3. Our Share of Night to Bear
4. The Book of Martyrs
5. The Wife
