THE BLUEBIRD, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Before you thought of spring, / except as a surmise Last Line: But his seraphic self! Subject(s): Birds; Bluebirds | |||
Before you thought of spring, Except as a surmise, You see, God bless his suddenness, A fellow in the skies Of independent hues, A little weather-worn, Inspiriting habiliments Of indigo and brown.
