ASHES DENOTE THAT FIRE WAS by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Into what Carbonates
Subject(s): FIRE;
Ashes denote that Fire was -
Revere the Grayest Pile
For the Departed Creature's sake
That hovered there awhile -

Fire exists the first in light
And then consolidates
Only the Chemist can disclose
Into what Carbonates
