I Died for Beauty（Emily Dickinson）

I died for beauty but was scarce

Adjusted in the Tomb

When one who died for Truth，was lain

In the adjoining Room－－

He questioned softly“Why I failed?”

“For beauty，”I replied

“And I for Truth The two are One

We Brethren，are，”He said

And so，as Kinsmen，met a Night

We talked between the Rooms

Until the Moss had reached our lips

And covered up our names
