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

Part One: Life

LXXXIV

’T IS little I could care for pearls

Who own the ample sea;

Or brooches, when the Emperor

With rubies pelteth me;

Or gold, who am the Prince of Mines;

Or diamonds, when I see

A diadem to fit a dome

Continual crowning me.
