American Literature – American Poetry – Emily Dickinson
< < < I have not told my garden yet
I know that he exists > > >

---

I know a place where summer strives

---

I know a place where summer strives

With such a practised frost,

She each year leads her daisies back,

Recording briefly, “Lost.”

---

But when the south wind stirs the pools

And struggles in the lanes,

Her heart misgives her for her vow,

And she pours soft refrains

---

Into the lap of adamant,

And spices, and the dew,

That stiffens quietly to quartz,

Upon her amber shoe.

I know that he exists > > >
