Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Two: Nature XLIV |
| FARTHER in summer than the birds, | |
| Pathetic from the grass, | |
| A minor nation celebrates | |
| Its unobtrusive mass. | |
| No ordinance is seen, | 5 |
| So gradual the grace, | |
| A pensive custom it becomes, | |
| Enlarging loneliness. | |
| Antiquest felt at noon | |
| When August, burning low, | 10 |
| Calls forth this spectral canticle, | |
| Repose to typify. | |
| Remit as yet no grace, | |
| No furrow on the glow, | |
| Yet a druidic difference | 15 |
| Enhances nature now. |
