Analysis of She's happy, with a new Content
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
She's happy, with a new Content—
That feels to her—like Sacrament—
She's busy—with an altered Care—
As just apprenticed to the Air—
She's tearful—if she weep at all—
For blissful Causes—Most of all
That Heaven permit so meek as her—
To such a Fate—to Minister.
