Emily Dickinson did not name her poems; the titles were assigned by early editors of her poems. When editors saw them, they assigned each a number. The 'titles' of her poems are generally the first line of the poem. Some of her poems include:
"I'm nobody! Who are you?"
"Success is counted sweetest"
"I cannot live with you"
"Wild nights! Wild nights!"
"Because I could not stop for death"
She never really titled her poems, so people just title her poems with the first line of that poem. Ex. Love is anterior to life By: Emily Dickinson Love is anterior to life, Posterior to death, Initial of creation, and The exponent of breath. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Because I could not stop for Death
