IT CAN'T BE SUMMER, -- THAT GOT THROUGH by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: With Cuffs of Chrysolite!
Subject(s): SEASONS;

It can't be "Summer"!
That - got through!
It's early - yet - for "Spring"!
There's that long town of White - to cross -
Before the Blackbirds sing!
It can't be "Dying"!
It's too Rouge -
The Dead shall go in White -
So Sunset shuts my question down
With Cuffs of Chrysolite!
