SUMMER SHOWER, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A drop fell on the apple tree / another on the roof Last Line: And signed the fete away. Subject(s): Rain; Summer | ||||||||
A drop fell on the apple tree, Another on the roof; A half a dozen kissed the eaves, And made the gables laugh. A few went out to help the brook, That went to help the sea. Myself conjectured, Were they pearls, What necklackes could be! The dust replaced in hoisted roads, The birds jocoser sung; The sunshine threw his hat away, The orchards spangles hung. The breeezes brought dejected lutes, And bathed them in the glee; The East put out a single flag, And signed the fete away. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
