THE WAKING YEAR, by EMILY DICKINSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A lady red upon [or, amid] the hill Last Line: Were nothing very odd! Subject(s): Spring | |||
A LADY red upon the hill Her annual secret keeps; A lady white within the field In placid lily sleeps! The tidy breezes with their brooms Sweep vail, and hill, and tree! Prithee, my pretty housewives! Who may expected be? The neighbors do not yet suspect! The woods exchange a smile, -- Orchard, and buttercup, and bird, In such a little while! And yet how still the landscape stands, How nonchalant the wood, As if the resurrection Were nothing very odd! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES |
