Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Two: Nature

LXXI

IT makes no difference abroad,
The seasons fit the same,
The mornings blossom into noons,
And split their pods of flame.

Wild-flowers kindle in the woods,	5
The brooks brag all the day;
No blackbird bates his jargoning
For passing Calvary.

Auto-da-fé and judgment
Are nothing to the bee;	10
His separation from his rose
To him seems misery.
