587 <br /> <br />Empty my Heart, of Thee— <br />Its single Artery— <br />Begin, and leave Thee out— <br />Simply Extinction's Date— <br /> <br />Much Billow hath the Sea— <br />One Baltic—They— <br />Subtract Thyself, in play, <br />And not enough of me <br />Is left—to put away— <br />"Myself" meanth Thee— <br /> <br />Erase the Root—no Tree— <br />Thee—then—no me— <br />The Heavens stripped— <br />Eternity's vast pocket, picked—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-my-heart-of-thee/
