Analysis of She dwelleth in the Ground

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



She dwelleth in the Ground—
Where Daffodils—abide—
Her Maker—Her Metropolis—
The Universe—Her Maid—

To fetch Her Grace—and Hue—
And Fairness—and Renown—
The Firmament's—To Pluck Her—
And fetch Her Thee—be mine—
