Upon the gallows hung a wretch,
Too sullied for the hell
To which the law entitled him.
As nature’s curtain fell
The one who bore him tottered in,
For this was woman’s son.
”T was all I had,’ she stricken gasped;
Oh, what a livid boon!
Dickinson fans in the Boston area can check out Beth Goldman as Emily Dickinson at the Waltham Public Library, 735 Main Street, Waltham, MA. The performance begins at 7:30 PM.
Goldman has played Dickinson in the full-length “The Belle of Amherst,” from which “Tea with Emily Dickinson” is adapted, with the Walpole Footlighters. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet Emily Dickinson for anyone who doesn’t have a time machine handy.
