ALL OVERGROWN BY CUNNING MOSS by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: "When ""Bronte"" entered there!"
Subject(s): BRONTE, CHARLOTTE (1816-1855);

All overgrown by cunning moss,
All interspersed with weed,
The little cage of "Currer Bell"
In quiet "Haworth" laid.

Gathered from many wanderings -
Gethsemane can tell
Thro' what transporting anguish
She reached the Asphodel!

Soft fall the sounds of Eden
Upon her puzzled ear -
Oh what an afternoon for Heaven,
When "Bronte" entered there!
