Poetry for Young People: "I Shall Not Live In Vain"

from book of several poems by Emily Dickinson (published by Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.)

"If I can stop 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."

collection edited by Frances Schoonmaker Robin and illustrated by Chi Chung - 1994 YA book
