I Went To Thank Her, By Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

 I went to thank her,
    But she slept;
    Her bed a funnelled stone,
    With nosegays at the head and foot,
    That travellers had thrown,

    Who went to thank her;
    But she slept.
    ‘T was short to cross the sea
    To look upon her like, alive,
    But turning back ‘t was slow.
