Poetic License~ Emily Dickerson

Besides the Autumn poets sing 
by Emily Dickinson 

 



Besides the Autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the Haze -

A few incisive mornings -
A few Ascetic eves -
Gone - Mr Bryant's "Golden Rod" -
And Mr Thomson's "sheaves."

Still, is the bustle in the brook -
Sealed are the spicy valves -
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
The eyes of many Elves -

Perhaps a squirrel may remain -
My sentiments to share - 
Grant me, Oh Lord, a sunny mind - 
Thy windy will to bea 

Ms.Emily Dickerson
