Relationships

I noticed people disappeared

by Emily Dickinson 1830–1886

Relationships

I noticed people disappeared,
When but a little child, --
Supposed they visited remote,
Or settled regions wild.

Now know I they both visited
And settled regions wild,
But did because they died, -- a fact
Withheld the little child!
