Afraid in D

Composer: Ziggy Merrill
Text: Emily Dickinson
Key: D
Vocal Range: Seventh (G# to A)
Clef: Treble

I am afraid to own a Body—
I am afraid to own a Soul—
Profound—precarious Property—
Possession, not optional—

Double Estate—entailed at pleasure
Upon an unsuspecting Heir—
Duke in a moment of Deathlessness
And God, for a Frontier.
