Analysis of Deprived of other Banquet
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Deprived of other Banquet,
I entertained Myself—
At first—a scant nutrition—
An insufficient Loaf—
But grown by slender addings
To so esteemed a size
'Tis sumptuous enough for me—
And almost to suffice
A Robin's famine able—
Red Pilgrim, He and I—
A Berry from our table
Reserve—for charity—
