I KNOW A PLACE WHERE SUMMER STRIVES - by Emily Dickinson











I  KNOW  A  PLACE  WHERE  SUMMER  STRIVES    



 by Emily Dickinson




I know a place where Summer strives

With such a practised Frost 

She -- each year -- leads her Daisies back 

Recording briefly -- "Lost" 




But when the South Wind stirs the Pools

And struggles in the lanes 

Her Heart misgives Her, for Her Vow 

And she pours soft Refrains




Into the lap of Adamant 

And spices - and the Dew 

That stiffens quietly to Quartz 

Upon her Amber Shoe
