Emily Dickinson

Here you will find the Poem If recollecting were forgetting of poet Emily Dickinson

If recollecting were forgetting

33

If recollecting were forgetting,
Then I remember not.
And if forgetting, recollecting,
How near I had forgot.
And if to miss, were merry,
And to mourn, were gay,
How very blithe the fingers
That gathered this, Today!
