Analysis of The Red—Blaze—is the Morning

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



The Red—Blaze—is the Morning—
The Violet—is Noon—
The Yellow—Day—is falling—
And after that—is none—

But Miles of Sparks—at Evening—
Reveal the Width that burned—
The Territory Argent—that
Never yet—consumed—
