ALONE I CANNOT BE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: FOR THEY'RE NEVER GONE


Alone, I cannot be-
For Hosts-do visit me-
Recordless Company-
Who baffle Key-

They have no Robes, nor Names-
No Almanacs-nor Climes-
But general Homes
Like Gnomes-

Their Coming, may be known
By Couriers within-
Their going-is not-
For they've never gone-
