"Too Scanty 'twas to Die for You" by Emily Dicksinson

Too Scanty 'twas to Die for You
by Emily Dicksinson

Too scanty ’twas to die for you,
The merest Greek could that.
The living, Sweet, is costlier—
I offer even that—

The Dying, is a trifle, past,
But living, this include
The dying multifold—without
The Respite to be dead.
