Poem A Day

Classic poem

"Nature" is what we see --

by Emily Dickinson

"Nature" is what we see --

The Hill -- the Afternoon --

Squirrel -- Eclipse -- the Bumble bee --

Nay -- Nature is Heaven --

Nature is what we hear --

The Bobolink -- the Sea --

Thunder -- the Cricket --

Nay -- Nature is Harmony --

Nature is what we know --

Yet have no art to say --

So impotent Our Wisdom is

To her Simplicity.
