Happy summer for those celebrating

Aaah, summer here you are again. Work continues as per usual however as season’s change our need for renewal lingers. Some may take a little summer break, others stay put and long for the classics. Like this little summer tale by Miss Dickinson herself. Happy summer for those celebrating.

I’ll tell you how the Sun rose

- Emily Dickinson

I’ll tell you how the Sun rose –
A Ribbon at a time –
The Steeples swam in Amethyst –
The news, like Squirrels, ran –
The Hills untied their Bonnets –
The Bobolinks – begun –
Then I said softly to myself –
“That must have been the Sun”!
But how he set – I know not –
There seemed a purple stile
That little Yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while –
Till when they reached the other side –
A Dominie in Gray –
Put gently up the evening Bars –
And led the flock away –
