AH, TENERIFFE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: I'm kneeling — still
Subject(s): MOUNTAINS;

Ah, Teneriffe!
Retreating Mountain!
Purples of Ages - pause for you -
Sunset - reviews her Sapphire Regiment -
Day - drops you her Red Adieu!

Still - Clad in your Mail of ices -
Thigh of Granite - and thew - of Steel -
Heedless - alike - of pomp - or parting

Ah, Teneriffe!
I'm kneeling - still
