Summary

Unrivaled diversity and teachability have made The Heath Anthology a best-selling text. In presenting a more inclusive canon of American literature, The Heath Anthology changed the way American literature is taught. The Sixth Edition continues to balance the traditional, leading names in American literature with lesser-known writers and have built upon the anthology's other strengths: its apparatus and its ancillaries.

To a President

The Dalliance of the Eagles

To the States from Drum-Taps Beat! Beat! Drums!

Poems

One Sister have I in our house

I never lost as much but twice

Success is counted sweetest

Her breast is fit for pearls

These are the days when Birds come back

Come slowly--Eden!

Did the Harebell loose her girdle

I like the look of Agony

Wild Nights--Wild Nights!

I can wade Grief

There's a certain Slant of light

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

I'm Nobody! Who are you?

If your Nerve, deny you

Your Riches--taught me--Poverty.

I reason, Earth is short

The Soul selects her own Society

The Soul's Superior instants

I send Two Sunsets

It sifts from Leaden Sieves

There came a Day at Summer's full

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church

A Bird came down the Walk

I know that He exists.

After great pain, a formal feeling comes

God is a distant--stately Lover

Dare you see a Soul at the White Heat?

What Soft--Cherubic Creatures

Much Madness is divinest Sense

This is my letter to the world

I tie my Hat--I crease my Shawl

I showed her Hights she never saw

This was a Poet--It is That

I heard a Fly buzz--when I died

This world is not Conclusion

Her sweet Weight on my Heart a Night

I started Early--Took my Dog

One Crucifixion is recorded--only

I reckon--when I count at all

I had been hungry, all the Years

Empty my Heart, of Thee

They shut me up in Prose

Ourselves were wed one summer--dear

The Brain--is wider than the Sky

I cannot live with You

I dwell in Possibility Of all the Souls that stand create

One need not be a Chamber--to be Haunted

Essential Oils--are wrung

They say that "Time Assuages"

Publication--is the Auction

Because I could not stop for Death

She rose to His Requirement--dropt

My Life had stood--a Loaded Gun

Presentiment--is that long Shadow--on the Lawn

This Consciousness that is aware

The Poets light but Lamps

The Missing All, prevented Me

A narrow Fellow in the Grass

Perception of an object costs

Title divine--is mine!

The Bustle in a House

Revolution is the Pod

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant

He preached upon "Breadth" till it argued him narrow

Not with a Club, the Heart is broken

What mystery pervades a well!

A Counterfeit--a Plated Person

"Heavenly Father"--take to thee

A Route of Evanescence

The Bible is an Antique Volume

Volcanoes be in Sicily

Rearrange a "Wife's" affection!
