Dickinson/Bowles Correspondence: Poem 161

poems sent from dickinson to bowles

A feather from the Whippowil
That everlasting - sings!
Whose galleries - are Sunrise -
Whose Opera - the Springs -
Whose Emerald Nest the Ages spin
Of mellow - murmuring thread -
Whose Beryl Egg, what School Boys hunt
In "Recess" - Overhead!
