SHE LAID HER DOCILE CRESCENT DOWN, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: Before its emblem flew
Subject(s): Death
Last Line: Before its emblem flew
Subject(s): Death
She laid her docile Crescent down
And this confiding Stone
Still states to Dates that have forgot
The News that she is gone -
So constant to its stolid trust,
The Shaft that never knew -
It shames the Constancy that fled
Before its emblem flew
