773 <br /> <br />Deprived of other Banquet, <br />I entertained Myself— <br />At first—a scant nutrition— <br />An insufficient Loaf— <br /> <br />But grown by slender addings <br />To so esteemed a size <br />'Tis sumptuous enough for me— <br />And almost to suffice <br /> <br />A Robin's famine able— <br />Red Pilgrim, He and I— <br />A Berry from our table <br />Reserve—for charity—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deprived-of-other-banquet/
