Little Toboggans

My Wars are laid away in Books —

I have one battle more —

a Foe whom I have never seen

But oft has scanned me o’er —

And hesitated me between

And others at my side

But chose the best — Neglecting me — till

All the rest, have died —

How sweet if I am not forgot

By chums that passed away —

Since Playmates at threescore and ten

Are such a scarcity —

{Emily Dickinson}
