when i read this poem for the first time i was amazed on how she completely
sumed up what i was feeling inside. i could only imagine that she felt the
way i'm feeling right now when she wrote that poem. i don't know if that
guy she wrote about ever came back into her life but i hope he did. emily
was a great poet and its tragic that she never realized her talent when she
was alive.

This poem begins so cheerfully, with swiping away the summer, and then
grows more despondent as the time lengthens before she gets to see the
beloved person she waits for. This is simply one of my favorite Emily
poems, and I always think of my father when I read it.

This poem is really great and i know that sounds like a simple way to put
what i think of it, but i think its suits it just fine. This is a really
romantic poem and i wish i was this suave.

The fourth line, second stanza should be
Until their time befalls,
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that is right.

This line is a metaphor for how she puts her fingers down under her palm as
she counts the centuries. The fingers are going down under...Van Dieman's
Land in now Tanzania...an Australian state. Australia is the place down
under.
