TO MY QUICK EAR THE LEAVES CONFERRED by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: To make me visible
Subject(s): PRIVACY;
To my quick ear the Leaves - conferred -
The Bushes - they were Bells -
I could not find a Privacy
From Nature's sentinels -

In Cave if I presumed to hide
The Walls - begun to tell -
Creation seemed a mighty Crack -
To make me visible
