WHO ROBBED THE WOODS

.

..........................WHO robbed the woods,
..........................The trusting woods?
..........................The unsuspecting trees
..........................Brought out their burrs and mosses
..........................His fantasy to please.
..........................He scanned their trinkets, curious,
..........................He grasped, he bore away.
..........................What will the solemn hemlock,
..........................What will the fir-tree say?

.............................

..........................THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THE BIRDS COME BACK

..........................THESE are the days when birds come back,
..........................A very few, a bird or two,
..........................To take a backward look.

..........................These are the days when skies put on
..........................The old, old sophistries of June,--
..........................A blue and gold mistake.

..........................Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,
..........................Almost thy plausibility
..........................Induces my belief,

..........................Till ranks of seeds their witness bear,
..........................And softly through the altered air
..........................Hurries a timid leaf!

..........................Oh, sacrament of summer days,
..........................Oh, last communion in the haze,
..........................Permit a child to join,

..........................Thy sacred emblems to partake,
..........................Thy consecrated bread to break,
..........................Taste thine immortal wine!

.......................... Emily Dickinson
