Emily Dickinson

You’re right—”the way is narrow”—

You’re right—“the way is narrow”—
And “difficult the Gate”—
And “few there be”—Correct again—
That “enter in—thereat”—
 
‘Tis Costly—So are purples!
’Tis just the price of Breath—
With but the “Discount” of the Grave—
Termed by the Brokers—“Death“!
 
And after that—there’s Heaven—
The Good Man’s—“Dividend“—
And Bad Men—“go to Jail”—
I guess—
