Besides this May

by Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

977

Besides this May
We know
There is Another -
How fair
Our Speculations of the Foreigner!

Some know Him whom We knew -
Sweet Wonder -
A Nature be
Where Saints, and our plain going Neighbor
Keep May!

    Sundown
    by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    The summer sun is sinking low; Only the tree-tops redden and glow: Only the weathercock on the spire Of the neighboring church is a flame of fire; All is in shadow below.
