"I never lost as much but twice"

XL.

I never lost as much but twice, And that was in the sod ; Twice have I stood a beggar Before the door of God ! Angels, twice descending, Reimbursed my store. Burglar, banker, father, I am poor once more !

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
"I shall know why when time is over"	"I never lost as much but twice"
