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

Part Two: Nature

LXXIX

THE MORNS are meeker than they were,

The nuts are getting brown;

The berry’s cheek is plumper,

The rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer scarf,

The field a scarlet gown.

Lest I should be old-fashioned,

I ’ll put a trinket on.
