"I had no time to hate, because"

XXII.

I had no time to hate, because The grave would hinder me, And life was not so ample I Could finish enmity. Nor had I time to love ; but since Some industry must be, The little toil of love, I thought, Was large enough for me.

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
