I Lived On Dread; To Those Who Know

    By Emily Elizabeth Dickinson



    I lived on dread; to those who know
    The stimulus there is
    In danger, other impetus
    Is numb and vital-less.

    As 't were a spur upon the soul,
    A fear will urge it where
    To go without the spectre's aid
    Were challenging despair.
