THE WINDS DREW OFF by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Beware an Austrian
Subject(s): WIND; NATURE;

The wind drew off
Like hungry dogs
Defeated of a bone -
Through fissures in
Volcanic cloud
The yellow lightning shone -
The trees held up
Their mangled limbs
Like animals in pain -
When Nature falls upon herself
Beware an Austrian
