A Day by Emily Dickinson
I’m up to the third book in the Mitford series (These High, Green Hills), and a poem from Miss Emily was quoted, so I thought I’d share.
A Day
By Emily Dickinson
I’ll tell you how the sun rose,—
A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets,
The bobolinks begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
“That must have been the sun!”
But how he set, I know not.
There seemed a purple stile
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while
Till when they reached the other side,
A dominic in gray
Put gently up the evening bars,
And led the flock away.
