Emily Dickinson Poems:

WATER is taught by thirst;
Land, by the oceans passed;
Transport, by throe;
Peace, by its battles told;
Love, by memorial mould;	5
Birds, by the snow.

This poem talks about a connection between human learning and elements of peace live and war along with the growth and pulsation of the world as it too grows and learns. 

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. This poem really talks about her drive to make an impact and change the world but with her fear that she might  not be able to do so and that is not what she wants. Naomi Shihab A man crosses the street in rain, stepping gently, looking two times north and south, because his son is asleep on his shoulder. No car must splash him. No car drive too near to his shadow. This man carries the world’s most sensitive cargo but he’s not marked. Nowhere does his jacket say FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE. His ear fills up with breathing. He hears the hum of a boy’s dream deep inside him. We’re not going to be able to live in this world if we’re not willing to do what he’s doing with one another. The road will only be wide. The rain will never stop falling. This poem is the one that I would use with the second Emily Dickinson one because I feel that they both talk about changing someone's life and making an impact and I think that there are lots of similarities between them.
