Emily Dickinson - Would you like summer? Taste of ours.

Would you like summer?  Taste of ours.
Spices?  Buy here!
Ill!  We have berries, for the parching!
Weary!  Furloughs of down!
Perplexed!  Estates of violet trouble ne'er looked on!
Captive!  We bring reprieve of roses!
Fainting!  Flasks of air!
Even for Death, a fairy medicine.
But, which is it, sir?

Volume: Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson Year: Published/Written in 1955 Poem of the Day: Oct 17 2004 Comment 1 of 1, added on October 17th, 2004 at 9:58 AM. There's an overt playfulness to this poem. Nature's gifts flaunted disdainfully, perhaps because of boredom? Ending the poem with a question adds a twist: it demands a response from the reader/client. Jacque from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
