Me! Come! My dazzled face
In such a shining place!
Me! Hear! My foreign ear
The sounds of welcome near!
The saints shall meet
Our bashful feet.
My holiday shall be
That they remember me;
My paradise, the fame
That they pronounce my name.
The Question and Answer section for Emily Dickinson’s Collected Poems is a great resource to ask questions, find answers, and discuss the novel.
The main idea in Dickinson's poem, I Like to See It Lap the Miles, is her fascination and admiration for trains.
It waits upon the lawn;
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.
We see light as personified as a sprite or fairy-like being prancing about the natural landscape.
I think that Dickinson is referring to a storm as if it were some giant predator kind of bird.
