Dickinson's Robins (52)

Her – last Poems –

You'll know Her – by Her Foot –

Her – "last Poems"!

Victory comes late –

Dust is the only Secret.

Dust is the only secret –

She sights a Bird – she chuckles –

The Robin's my Criterion for Tune –

Victory comes late,

A Murmur in the Trees – to note –

Bring me the sunset in a cup –

Bring me the sunset in a cup –

Come show thy Durham Breast

Deprived of other Banquet,

Dreams – are well – but Waking's better –

Forever honored be the Tree

Forever honored be the Tree

I dreaded that first Robin, so,

I had a guinea golden –

I have a Bird in spring

I shall keep singing!

She could not live upon the Past

Quite empty, quite at rest,

The Robin is a Troubadour

The Robin is a Gabriel

If I can stop one Heart from breaking

If I should'nt be alive

Make me a picture of the sun –

On the World you colored

Some Rainbow – coming from the Fair!

Some Rainbow – coming from the Fair!

What shall I do when the Summer troubles –

Whose cheek is this?

When they come back –

The Robin is the One

The Robin for the Crumb

Pink – small – and punctual –

Pink – small – and punctual,

Come show thy Durham Breast

Forever cherished be the tree
