Emily Dickinson: Envelope Poem - A 128

A 128

All       men       for        Honor
hardest        work
But            are      not      known
to     earn -
Paid      after        they   have
ceased     to        work
In          Infamy           or   Urn -

(Marta Werner and Jen Bervin, Emily Dickinson: The Gorgeous Nothings [a collection of Dickinson's "envelope poems"], 28).
