The Bustle in a House by Emily Dickinson

The Bustle in a House
The Morning after Death
Is solemnest of industries
Enacted opon Earth –

The Sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity –

• Safe in their Alabaster Chambers
• Snow flakes.
• Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
• The Soul has Bandaged moments
• Success is counted sweetest
• Surgeons must be very careful
