Writings by Susan Dickinson: SHD Commonplace Book

In Siege.

Two logs are singing on the hearth
The birch with silver curls behind
While broad in front with hissing mirth
An apple boulder shows it's rind -

----------

Brave rampart this from which I gaze
Across the Arctic cold to-day!

S.H.D. Commonplace Book (16:35:1),
Martha Dickinson Bianchi Collection,
John Hay Library, Brown University Libraries

Their song is dear with Summer haze
And blossoms sweet of orchards gay.

S.H.D.

Feb./95.
