By Emily Dickinson
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.
Read this for the first time when i was 12 in the "Book of Virtues". Pretty simple and spot on, IMO. Read more Emily Dickinson on Bartleby.
