PROOF by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT I DID ALWAYS LOVE
Last Line: BUT CALVARY.
Subject(s): LOVE;
THAT I did always love,
I bring thee proof:
That till I loved
I did not love enough.

That I shall love alway,
I offer thee
That love is life,
And life hath immortality.

This, dost thou doubt, sweet?
Then have I
Nothing to show
But Calvary.
