PROGRAM
They shut me up

I was the slightest in the House

The Soul selects her own Society

Again—his voice is at the door

Interlude No. 1

I dwell in Possibility

Because I could not stop for Death

A Bee I personally knew (Bee Scherzo No. 1)

I felt a Funeral

I reason, Earth is short

A little Snow

I tie my Hat—I crease my Shawl

“Hope” is the thing

Interlude No. 2

The Props assist the House

There is a solitude of space

Could I but ride indefinite (Bee Scherzo No. 2)

So set its Sun in Thee

Her face

Tell Her

His Feet are shod with Gauze (Bee Scherzo No. 3)

Wild Nights!

There is another sky

‘Tis true—They shut me in the Cold

If I can stop one heart from breaking
(On Praetorius’ “Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming”)

No Prisoner be
