THE HEMLOCK, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I think the hemlock likes to stand Last Line: And dnieper wrestlers run. Subject(s): Hemlocks | |||
I THINK the hemlock likes to stand Upon a marge of snow; It suits his own austerity, And satisfies an awe That men must slake in wilderness, Or in the desert cloy, -- An instinct for the hoar, the bald, Lapland's necessity. The hemlock's nature thrives on cold; The gnash of northern winds Is sweetest nutriment to him, His best Norwegian wines. To satin races he is nought; But children on the Don Beneath his tabernacles play, And Dnieper wrestlers run. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A CROW IN FEBRUARY by CAROLINE M.
