Analysis of To my quick ear the leaves conferred;
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
To my quick ear the leaves conferred;
The bushes they were bells;
I could not find a privacy
From Nature's sentinels.
In cave if I presumed to hide,
The walls began to tell;
Creation seemed a mighty crack
To make me visible.
