Dickinson's Death

In Emily Dickinson's poem "If I Should Die," Dickinson writes that there is no true difference between life and death because the world does not stop for you when you die.

IF I SHOULD DIE

by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

F I should die,
And you should live,
And time should gurgle on,
And morn should beam,
And noon should burn,
As it has usual done;
If birds should build as early,
And bees as bustling go,--
One might depart at option
From enterprise below!
'Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
When we with daisies lie,
That commerce will continue,
And trades as briskly fly.
It make the parting tranquil
And keeps the soul serene,
That gentlemen so sprightly
Conduct the pleasing scene!
