Since the start of the poem we can see that the author has compared fame with a kind of food that is in constant change due to several factors. That's her way to tell that the same happens with fame. At first it brings everything you wish but then it can end up ruining your life. You're always in the public eye and people, especially the envious ones will always have something negative to say, just to ruin your fame and career. Practically, the crows represent these people in Dickinson's poem and these people are so caught up on a person's fame that spend their lives looking up to him and symbolically "die".
