Emily Dickinson - If I should die and you should live - American Poetry

"If I should die and you should live" is a short poem by the American Poet Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886).
Emily Dickinson wrote this poem to support her idea that death should no longer be something one fears and that it should be looked at positively. We can't fight death nor escape from it. She wrote this poem from her personal experience and many health problems where she was almost to death countless times. She wanted to tell her loved ones to keep the world going the same way it was before she passes away.

If I should die,
And you should live,
And time should gurgle on,
And morn should beam,
And noon should burn,
As it has usual done;

If birds should build as early,
And bees as bustling go,—
One might depart at option
From enterprise below!

’T is sweet to know that stocks will stand
When we with daisies lie,
That commerce will continue,
And trades as briskly fly.

It makes the parting tranquil
And keeps the soul serene,
That gentlemen so sprightly
Conduct the pleasing scene!
