HIGH FROM THE EARTH I HEARD A BIRD, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: How different we are! Subject(s): Birds | ||||||||
High from the earth I heard a bird, He trod upon the trees As he esteemed them trifles, And then he spied a breeze, And situated softly Upon a pile of wind Which in a perturbation Nature had left behind. A joyous going fellow I gathered from his talk Which both of benediction And badinage partook. Without apparent burden I subsequently learned He was the faithful father Of a dependent brood. And this untoward transport His remedy for care. A contrast to our respites.
