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

Part Two: Nature

XXXVI

FREQUENTLY the woods are pink,
Frequently are brown;
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
  
Oft a head is crested        5
I was wont to see,
And as oft a cranny
Where it used to be.
  
And the earth, they tell me,
On its axis turned,—        10
Wonderful rotation
By but twelve performed!
