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

Part Two: Nature

XCII

TO my quick ear the leaves conferred;
The bushes they were bells;
I could not find a privacy
From Nature’s sentinels.

In cave if I presumed to hide,	5
The walls began to tell;
Creation seemed a mighty crack
To make me visible.
