'Twas later when the summer went

By Emily DickinsonSource: Emily Dickinson - PoetryDB (Public Domain)36 words

'Twas later when the summer went

Than when the Cricket came --

And yet we knew that gentle Clock

Meant nought but Going Home --

'Twas sooner when the Cricket went

Than when the Winter came

Yet that pathetic Pendulum

Keeps esoteric Time.
