Summer is shorter than any one —

←She could not live upon the Past (1505)

Summer is shorter than any one — by Emily Dickinson 1506

(1507) The Pile of Years is not so high→

Summer is shorter than any one —
Life is shorter than Summer —
Seventy Years is spent as quick
As an only Dollar —

Sorrow — now — is polite — and stays —
See how well we spurn him —
Equally to abhor Delight —
Equally retain him —
