    “If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking”

    by Emily Dickinson


    1 If I can stop one heart from breaking

    2 I shall not live in vain*

    3 If I can ease one life the aching,

    4 Or cool one pain,

    5 Or help one fainting robin

    6 Unto his nest again,

    7 I shall not live in vain


    *Definition of “vain”: without effect or avail; to no purpose
