We are working on musical arrangements of To lose thee, sweeter than to gain by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

To lose thee, sweeter than to gain
  All other hearts I knew.
'T is true the drought is destitute,
  But then I had the dew!

The Caspian has its realms of sand,
  Its other realm of sea;
Without the sterile perquisite
  No Caspian could be.
