THE ROBIN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE ROBIN IS THE ONE
Last Line: AND SANCTITY ARE BEST.
Subject(s): ROBINS;
THE robin is the one
That interrupts the morn
With hurried, few, express reports
When March is scarcely on.

The robin is the one
That overflows the noon
With her cherubic quantity,
An April but begun.

The robin is the one
That speechless from her nest
Submits that home and certainty
And sanctity are best.
