I posted a question yesterday about Emily Dickinson and her poetry:

And was wondering what pieces of classical music you would choose to pair one or a set of them to which have similar themes, they for the most part being relatively short poems.
Or, to put it another way, what pieces of classical music are reminiscent in mood to one or a particular set of her poems? For example:
This is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,----
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see:
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me.
I would pair this one with Chopin's "Prelude #-4, Largo in E-minor"; here's a You Tube video of it:
