About

In this poem, Emily Dickinson is comparing attending a funeral during childhood, where she was “too young” to understand, to the later issue of being an adult and still not understanding death, and being afraid that she is looking at it all wrong.

A loss of something ever felt I (959) Annotated

A loss of something ever felt I—
The first that I could recollect
Bereft I was—of what I knew not
Too young that any should suspect

A Mourner walked among the children
I notwithstanding went about
As one bemoaning a Dominion
Itself the only Prince cast out—

Elder, Today, a session wiser
And fainter, too, as Wiseness is—
I find myself still softly searching
For my Delinguent Palaces—

And a Suspicion, like a Finger
Touches my Forehead now and then
That I am looking oppositely
For the site of the Kingdom of Heaven—
