Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part One: Life 84. 'T is little I could care for pearls

REAL RICHES.


'T is little I could care for pearls

Who own the ample sea;

Or brooches, when the Emperor

With rubies pelteth me;


Or gold, who am the Prince of Mines;

Or diamonds, when I see

A diadem to fit a dome

Continual crowning me.
