Analysis of Through the Dark Sod—as Education
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Through the Dark Sod—as Education—
The Lily passes sure—
Feels her white foot—no trepidation—
Her faith—no fear—
Afterward—in the Meadow—
Swinging her Beryl Bell—
The Mold-life—all forgotten—now—
In Ecstasy—and Dell—
