i never lost as much but twice

I NEVER LOST AS MUCH BUT TWICE

by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

NEVER lost as much but twice,

And that was in the sod;

Twice have I stood a beggar

Before the door of God!

Angels, twice descending,

Reimbursed my store.

Burglar, banker, father,

I am poor once more!
