Title of Poem: Wait till the Majesty of Death by Emily Dickinson
Category : Death Poems
Wait till the Majesty of Death
Invests so mean a brow!
Almost a powdered Footman
Might dare to touch it now!
Wait till in Everlasting Robes
That Democrat is dressed,
Then prate about 'Preferment' --
And 'Station,' and the rest!
Around this quiet Courtier
Obsequious Angels wait!
Full royal is his Retinue!
Full purple is his state!
A Lord, might dare to lift the Hat
To such a Modest Clay
Since that My Lord, 'the Lord of Lords'
Receives unblushingly!
