An altered look about the hills -
A Tyrian light the village fills -
A wider sunrise in the morn -
A deeper twilight on the lawn -
A print of a vermillion foot -
A purple finger on the slope -
A flippant fly opon the pane -
A spider at his trade again -
An added strut to Chanticleer -
A flower expected everywhere -
An axe shrill singing in the woods -
Fern odors on untraveled roads -
All this and more I cannot tell -
A furtive look you know as well -
And Nicodemus' mystery
Receives it's annual reply!
Emily Dickinson
