Sometimes with the Heartby Emily Dickinson
Sometimes with the Heart
Seldom with the Soul
Scarcer once with the Might
Few—love at all.

behind the name:
How sure it is,
That, if we say a true word, instantly
We feel 'tis God's, not ours, and pass it on
As bread at sacrament, we taste and pass
Nor handle for a moment, as indeed
We dared to set up any claim to such!
- From Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

tips
Read the poem at least twice to make sure you notice all the different elements.
Let the words work on your mind. Every word counts. Look up the definitions of words you don't recognize.
Reading the poem out loud is a great way to experience the poem. If you don't want to read the poem out loud (no one wants to look crazy) mouth the words quietly to yourself or say them in your head.
