Analysis of They won't frown always—some sweet Day
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
They won't frown always—some sweet Day
When I forget to tease—
They'll recollect how cold I looked
And how I just said "Please."
Then They will hasten to the Door
To call the little Girl
Who cannot thank Them for the Ice
That filled the lisping full.
