There is a Shame of Nobleness

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

551

There is a Shame of Nobleness-
Confronting Sudden Pelf-
A finer Shame of Ecstasy-
Convicted of Itself-

A best Disgrace-a Brave Man feels-
Acknowledged-of the Brave-
One More-"Ye Blessed"-to be told-
But that's-Behind the Grave-
