As we are learning the conditional sentences in 4 year, I thought I would share with you a beautiful poem by Emily Dickinson, one of my favourite poets in the English Language.
Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote (19th century); they contain short lines, have no titles, and often use unconventional capitalization and punctuation. I think that because of that they're not too difficult to understand.
So, here it is:
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.
Emily Dickinson
