Emily Dickinson's Correspondences
Correspondence with Susan Dickinson


H B178a
Like Some Old fashioned 
Miracle
When Summertime is done -
Seems Summer's Recollec - 
tion
And the Affairs of June

As infinite Tradition
As Cinderella's Bays -
Or little John - of 
Lincoln Green -
Or Blue Beard's 
Galleries -

Her Bees have a fictitious Hum - [down]

H B178b

Her Blossoms, like 
a Dream -
Elate us - till we 
Almost weep -
So plausible - they seem -

Her Memories like 
Strains    Review -
When Orchestra is 
dumb -
The Violin in Baize 
replaced -
And Ear - and Heaven - 
numb -
