Analysis of Snow beneath whose chilly softness
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Snow beneath whose chilly softness
Some that never lay
Make their first Repose this Winter
I admonish Thee
Blanket Wealthier the Neighbor
We so new bestow
Than thine acclimated Creature
Wilt Thou, Austere Snow?
