Poems by Emily Dickinson, Series Two

XXXVII.

Reading edition

Talk with prudence to a beggar Of "Potosi" and the mines! Reverently to the hungry Of your viands and your wines!

Cautious, hint to any captive You have passed enfranchised feet! Anecdotes of air in dungeons Have sometimes proved deadly sweet!

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
