Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 15. A route of evanescence

THE HUMMING-BIRD.


A route of evanescence

With a revolving wheel;

A resonance of emerald,

A rush of cochineal;

And every blossom on the bush

Adjusts its tumbled head, --

The mail from Tunis, probably,

An easy morning's ride.
