Emily Dickinson’s “If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking”
Hello again readers!
I know I’ve already posted once today, but I was just reading through a book, Best Remembered Poems, and saw this little treasure of a thought. Emily Dickinson can be really hard to understand sometimes, but in this poem, she makes it easy (not to mention echoes the sentiments in my soul!)
Happy reading.
IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKING
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vein;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
