YOU CANNOT PUT A FIRE OUT by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: And tell your Cedar Floor
Subject(s): FIRE; FLOODS;
You cannot put a Fire out -
A Thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a Fan -
Upon the slowest Night -

You cannot fold a Flood -
And put it in a Drawer -
Because the Winds would find it out -
And tell your Cedar Floor
