You can sing many songs to Emily Dickenson's poems because she wrote them like music measures. You can use any song to the Poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" that has the measure eight,six or in other words three, fourths. Amazing grace can be sung to it as well as many other hymns. Have you forgotten that Emily's father was a preacher? So she practically grew up in a church. And she wrote her poems in the syllables of hymns. It is really incredible if you think about it.
