SIMPLICITY by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: HOW HAPPY IS THE LITTLE STONE
Last Line: IN CASUAL SIMPLICITY.
Subject(s): SIMPLICITY; STONES; GRANITE; ROCKS;
HOW happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies never fears;
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity.
