Composed by Lori Laitman

Four Dickinson Songs Song Collection


"She Died" is the third song of Lori Laitman's Four Dickinson Songs.

Text

She died — this was the way she died (poem 150)
by Emily Dickinson

She died — this was the way she died.
And when her breath was done
Took up her simple wardrobe
And started for the sun.

Her little figure at the gate
The Angels must have spied,
Since I could never find her
Upon the mortal side.
