Poem A Day Open in app

Classic poem

Nature -- sometimes sears a Sapling

by Emily Dickinson

Nature -- sometimes sears a Sapling --

Sometimes -- scalps a Tree --

Her Green People recollect it

When they do not die --

Fainter Leaves -- to Further Seasons --

Dumbly testify --

We -- who have the Souls --

Die oftener -- Not so vitally --
