THE SUN KEPT SETTING - SETTING - STILL, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: I'm not afraid to know Subject(s): Sun; Death | ||||||||
The Sun kept setting - setting - still No Hue of Afternoon - Upon the Village I perceived From House to House 'twas Noon - The Dusk kept dropping - dropping - still No Dew upon the Grass - But only on my Forehead stopped - And wandered in my Face - My Feet kept drowsing - drowsing - still My fingers were awake - Yet why so little sound - Myself Unto my Seeming - make? How well I knew the Light before - I could see it now - 'Tis Dying - I am doing - but I'm not afraid to know | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY HOW THE MIRROR LOOKS THIS MORNING by HICOK.
