We are working on the musical arrangement of A toad can die of light! by Emily Dickinson and it will be published:

on a date yet to be decided

A toad can die of light!
Death is the common right
  Of toads and men, —
Of earl and midge
The privilege.
  Why swagger then?
The gnat's supremacy
Is large as thine.
