Emily Dickinson, poetry for young people

Poetry for young people

Poetry for young people.

Hope is the thing with feathers -- It's all I have to bring today -- I started early, took my dog -- I'm nobody! Who are you? -- I hide myself within my flower -- I dwell in possibility -- Will there really be a morning? -- I'll tell you how the sun rose -- She sweeps with many-colored brooms -- I know some lonely houses off the road -- The moon was but a chin of gold -- Pink, small, and punctual -- His bill an auger is -- An everywhere of silver -- I like to see it lap the miles -- A fuzzy fellow without feet -- It sifts from leaden sieves -- A narrow fellow in the grass -- Dear March, come in! -- Bee, I'm expecting you! -- The grass has so little to do -- A bird came down the walk -- The bee is not afraid of me -- A soft sea washed around the house -- To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee -- The pedigree of honey -- Forbidden fruit a flavor has -- The wind begun to rock the grass -- The morns are meeker than they were -- I have not told my garden yet -- My river runs to thee -- I never saw a moor -- There is no frigate like a book -- If I can stop one heart from breaking -- A word is dead -- In this short life.
