A Coffin - is a Small Domain

- Written by Emily Dickinson.

A Coffin — is a small Domain, Yet able to contain A Citizen of Paradise In it diminished Plane.

A Grave — is a restricted Breadth — Yet ampler than the Sun — And all the Seas He populates And Lands He looks upon

To Him who on its small Repose Bestows a single Friend — Circumference without Relief — Or Estimate — or End —
