THE MOUNTAIN SAT UPON THE PLAIN by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Of Dawn, the Ancestor
Subject(s): MOUNTAINS;
The Mountain sat upon the Plain
In his tremendous Chair -
His observation omnifold,
His inquest, everywhere -

The Seasons played around his knees
Like Children round a sire -
Grandfather of the Days is He
Of Dawn, the Ancestor
