Exercise in minimalism using Emily Dickinson poem "If I can stop one heart from breaking", The goal was to not stray too far from the original text but still adding a form of progression to it. >- - - Emily Dickinson - If I can stop one Heart from breaking - - - - > 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 > - This is what I ended up with: - - - - > Can I stop one Heart from breaking Or will I live in vain? Can I ease one Life... the Aching? Or is life one of Pain? I want to stop one Heart from breaking I don't want to live in vain I want to ease one Life.... the Aching I shall not live in vain If I can stop one Heart from breaking I'll not have live in vain If I can ease one Life the Aching Or cool one's their Pain [Chorus] Let me help one Heart from breaking Let me cool away the pain Let me ease your life from aching Help me not have been in vain Let me help one Heart from breaking Let me help the fainting Robin Undo his Nest again Ease one Life the Aching Save one Heart from breaking Ease one Life the Aching Stop one Heart from breaking! I'll not have lived in vain! EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHING Stop one Heart from breaking! COOL AWAY....ONE PAIN Don't live life in vain! I WANNA STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKING I don't wanna have lived in vain! I WANNA SAVE YOU THE ACHING I shall not live in vain! [Chorus] Let me help one Heart from breaking Let me cool away the pain Let me ease your life from aching Help me not have been in vain Let me help one Heart from breaking Let me help the fainting Robin Undo his Nest again Ease one Life the Aching Save one Heart from breaking Ease one Life the Aching Stop one Heart from breaking I'll not have lived in vain!
