Analysis of New feet within my garden go

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



New feet within my garden go—
New fingers stir the sod—
A Troubadour upon the Elm
Betrays the solitude.

New children play upon the green—
New Weary sleep below—
And still the pensive Spring returns—
And still the punctual snow!
