726 <br /> <br />We thirst at first—'tis Nature's Act— <br />And later—when we die— <br />A little Water supplicate— <br />Of fingers going by— <br /> <br />It intimates the finer want— <br />Whose adequate supply <br />Is that Great Water in the West— <br />Termed Immortality—<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-thirst-at-first-tis-nature-s-act/
