"I reason, Earth is short…" (301)

I reason, Earth is short —

And Anguish — absolute —

And many hurt,

But, what of that?

I reason, we could die —

The best Vitality

Cannot excel Decay,

But, what of that?

I reason that in Heaven —

Somehow, it will be even —

Some new Equation, given —

But, what of that?

This poem appeared in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson, published by Little, Brown and Company, 1958.
