Not in Vain
Emily Dickerson
If I can stopo one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.
What a great mind!
Miriam loved reading both fiction and non-fiction, but she especially loved poetry. Some patrons would look to see if Miriam had read a book, and if she had, they would remark, "if Miriam read this book , it will be a good book for me too'. I will miss her coming in on Thursdays, and she will be greatly missed.
