49 I never lost as much but twice, 
67 Success is counted sweetest 
130 These are the days when Birds come back— 
185 "Faith" is a fine invention 
214 I taste a liquor never brewed— 
216 Safe in their Alabaster Chambers— 
241 I like a look of Agony, 
280 I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, 
303 The Soul selects her own Society— 
315 Hę fumbles at your Soul 
328 A Bird came down the Walk— 
435 Much Madness is divinest Sense— 
441 This is my letter to the World 
449 I died for Beauty—but was scarce 
465 I heard a Fly buzz—when I died— 
501 This World is not Conclusion. 
520 I started Early—Took my Dog— 
709 Publication—is the Auction 
712 Because I could not stop for Death— 
986 A narrow Fellow in the Grass 
1078 The Bustle in a House
