Hello kidner,

Are you sure that Emily Dickinson is the author of the poem?

I found a poem entitled "Lament" by author Edna St. Vincent Millay
which has the following excerpt:

Life must go on 
And the dead be forgotten; 
Life must go on 
Though good men die. 
Anne, eat your breakfast; 
Dan, take your medicine. 
Life must go on; 
I forget just why.

I look forward to your response,
