Emily Dickinson's Birthday



Birthday of but a single pang 
by Emily Dickinson

Birthday of but a single pang
That there are less to come --
Afflictive is the Adjective
But affluent the doom --


I could not let the day go by without wishing Emily Dickinson a Happy Birthday. Emily Dickinson is one of America’s greatest and most original poets of all time. She took definition as her province and challenged the existing definitions of poetry and the poet’s work. Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on December 10, 1830 to Edward and Emily (Norcross) Dickinson.

    Emily Dickinson wrote this poem circa 1880, when there were fewer birthdays to come. She died in 1886.
