Before you thought of Spring

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)60 words

Before you thought of Spring

Except as a Surmise

You see -- God bless his suddenness --

A Fellow in the Skies

Of independent Hues

A little weather worn

Inspiriting habiliments

Of Indigo and Brown --

With specimens of Song

As if for you to choose --

Discretion in the interval

With gay delays he goes

To some superior Tree

Without a single Leaf

And shouts for joy to Nobody

But his seraphic self --

Best Used In
