"I want" — it pleaded — All its life — by Emily Dickinson 731

(732) She rose to His Requirement — dropt→

"I want" — it pleaded — All its life —
I want — was chief it said
When Skill entreated it — the last —
And when so newly dead —

I could not deem it late — to hear
That single — steadfast sigh —
The lips had placed as with a "Please"
Toward Eternity —
