BEHOLD THIS LITTLE BANE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: ITS TANTAMOUNT BE FOUND
Subject(s): LOVE;
Behold this little Bane -
The Boon of all alive -
As common as it is unknown
The name of it is Love -


To lack of it is Woe -
To own of it is Wound -
Not elsewhere - if in Paradise
Its Tantamount be found -
