Reality: Mine?

Today, something from my favourite poet:

Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part One: Life


VI

IF I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
