Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 76. Apparently with no surprise

DEATH AND LIFE.


Apparently with no surprise

To any happy flower,

The frost beheads it at its play

In accidental power.

The blond assassin passes on,

The sun proceeds unmoved

To measure off another day

For an approving God.
