"A train went through a burial gate"

IX.

A train went through a burial gate, A bird broke forth and sang, And trilled, and quivered, and shook his throat Till all the churchyard rang ; And then adjusted his little notes, And bowed and sang again. Doubtless, he thought it meet of him To say good-by to men.

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
"Look back on time with kindly eyes"	"I died for beauty, but was scarce"
