Emily Dickinson - Are Friends Delight or Pain?

Are Friends Delight or Pain?
Could Bounty but remain
Riches were good --

But if they only stay
Ampler to fly away
Riches are sad.

We belive this poem represent the "wealth" that everyone desires...riches= money, jewelery, but at the end none of that makes you happy cuz you die with nothing.

This poem is so sad for me, because I have known and lost so many friends. It is a simple yet poignant poem
