If+I+should+Die+by+Emily+Dickinson

=If I Should Die by Emily Dickinson= If I should die And you should live And time should gurgle on And morn should beam And noon should burn As it has usuall done If bird should build as early And bee's should bustling go-- One might depart and option From enterprise below! Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand When we with daisies lie, That commerce will continue, And trades as briskly fly It makes parting tranquil And keeps the soul serene That genlemen so brightly Conduct the pleasing sene.

I think that Emily Dickinson wrote this poem as a sarcastic remark to someone that life where she lived was very deppressing and that when she died it would be no different. This poem uses external rhyme.The ryhme scheme thias poem uses is AABCCB.This poem also uses personification (Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand,and trades as briskly fly).
