THE MUSHROOM IS THE ELF OF PLANTS, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: That mushroom — it is him!
Subject(s): Mushrooms
Last Line: That mushroom — it is him!
Subject(s): Mushrooms
The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants -
At Evening, it is not -
At Morning, in a Truffled Hut
It stop upon a Spot
As if it tarried always
And yet its whole Career
Is shorter than a Snake's Delay
And fleeter than a Tare -
'Tis Vegetation's Juggler -
The Germ of Alibi -
Doth like a Bubble antedate
And like a Bubble, hie -
I feel as if the Grass was pleased
To have it intermit -
This surreptitious scion
Of Summer's circumspect.
Had Nature any supple Face
Or could she one contemn -
Had Nature an Apostate -
That Mushroom - it is Him!
