by Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

[No title]
 (Sung text for setting by M. Ippolito)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
I breathed enough to take the Trick—

And now, removed from Air—

I simulate the Breath, so well—

That One, to be quite sure—



The Lungs are stirless—must descend

Among the Cunning Cells—

And touch the Pantomine—Himself,

How numb, the Bellows feels!

Composition:

    Set to music by Michael Ippolito (b. 1985), no title, 2014 [ solo voice ], from Peacock Presumes to Die!, no. 1, confirmed with a score
