LIKE SOME OLD-FASHIONED MIRACLE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: And ear — and heaven — numb
Subject(s): Summer; Childhood Memories


Like Some Old fashioned Miracle
When Summertime is done -
Seems Summer's Recollection
And the Affairs of June

As infinite Tradition
As Cinderella's Bays -
Or Little John - of Lincoln Green -
Or Blue Beard's Galleries -

Her Bees have a fictitious Hum -
Her Blossoms, like a Dream -
Elate us - till we almost weep -
So plausible - they seem -

Her Memories like Strains - Review -
When Orchestra is dumb -
The Violin in Baize replaced -
And Ear - and Heaven - numb
