Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part One: Life 119. To lose one's faith surpasses

LOST FAITH.


To lose one's faith surpasses

The loss of an estate,

Because estates can be

Replenished, -- faith cannot.


Inherited with life,

Belief but once can be;

Annihilate a single clause,

And Being's beggary.
