FRINGED GENTIAN, by EMILY DICKINSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: God made a little gentian Last Line: "creator! Shall I bloom?" Subject(s): Flowers; Gentians; Fringed Gentians | |||
God made a little gentian; It tried to be a rose And failed, and all the summer laughed. But just before the snows There came a purple creature That ravished all the hill; And summer hid her forehead, And mockery was still. The frosts were her condition; The Tyrian would not come Until the North evoked it.
