poems sent from dickinson to jackson


Upon his Saddle sprung a Bird
And crossed a thousand Trees
Before a Fence without a Fare
His fantasy did please
And then he lifted up his Throat
And squandered such a Note
A Universe that overheard
Is stricken by it yet -

1. sprung a Bird] sprang the Bird,      7-8] A Universe's
                  utter Art Could not it imitate -
