The Robin

Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

Poems: Second Series

THE robin is the oneThat interrupts the mornWith hurried, few, express reportsWhen March is scarcely on.

The robin is the oneThat overflows the noonWith her cherubic quantity,An April but begun.

The robin is the oneThat speechless from her nestSubmits that home and certaintyAnd sanctity are best.
