IT SOUNDED AS IF THE STREETS WERE RUNNING by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Mixing fresher Air

It sounded as if the Streets were running
And then - the Streets stood still -
Eclipse - was all we could see at the Window
And Awe - was all we could feel.

By and by - the boldest stole out of his Covert
To see if Time was there -
Nature was in an Opal Apron,
Mixing fresher Air
