Childish Griefs

Emily Dickinson

1830 to 1886

We are working on musical arrangements of Childish Griefs by Emily Dickinson and they will be published: on a date yet to be decided

Softened by Time's consummate plush,
  How sleek the woe appears
That threatened childhood's citadel
  And undermined the years!

Bisected now by bleaker griefs,
  We envy the despair
That devastated childhood's realm,
  So easy to repair.
