Emily Dickinson - God gave a Loaf to every Bird lyrics

God gave a Loaf to every Bird But just a Crumb — to Me I dare not eat it — tho' I starve My poignant luxury To own it — touch it Prove the feat — that made the Pellet mine Too happy — for my Sparrow's chance For Ampler Coveting It might be Famine — all around I could not miss an Ear Such Plenty smiles upon my Board My Garner shows so fair I wonder how the Rich — may feel An Indiaman — An Earl I deem that I — with but a Crumb Am Sovereign of them all
