Analysis of Twice had Summer her fair Verdure
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Twice had Summer her fair Verdure
Proffered to the Plain—
Twice a Winter's silver Fracture
On the Rivers been—
Two full Autumns for the Squirrel
Bounteous prepared—
Nature, Had'st thou not a Berry
For thy wandering Bird?
