[beckonade]

These are all first lines of Emily Dickinson poems.



1. A Murmur in the Trees - to note
2. A Word dropped careless on a Page
3. As subtle as tomorrow
4. Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine
5. Bind me - I still can sing
6. Dreams - are well - but Waking's better
7. Estranged from Beauty - none can be
8. Forbidden Fruit a flavor has
9. Had I not This, or This, I said
10. Her smile was shaped like other smiles
11. If wrecked upon the Shoal of Thought
12. Is Bliss then, such Abyss
13. Of the Heart that goes in, and closes the Door
14. On such a night, or such a night
15. One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted
16. Our little secrets slink away
17. Our share of night to bear
18. Pain has but one Acquaintance
19. Secrets is a daily word
20. Sweet - You forgot - but I remembered
21. The Clock strikes one that just struck two
22. The Heart asks Pleasure - first
23. The Life that tied too tight escapes
24. The Months have ends - the Years - a knot
25. The Night was wide, and furnished scant
26. The Things that never can come back, are several
27. These Fevered Days - to take them to the Forest
28. This dirty - little - Heart
29. Tomorrow - whose location
30. Under the Light, yet under
31. Wild Nights - Wild Nights!
