(A poem by Emily Dickinson)
there is another sky
ever serene and fair,
and there is another sunshine,
tho’ it be darkness there –
never mind faded forests, Austin,
never mind silent fields –
here is a little forest
whose leaf is ever green –
here is a brighter garden –
where not a frost has been,
in its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum,
prithee, my Brother,
into my garden come!
Emily Dickinson was an American poet who is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century. That despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.
