Emily Dickinson - Her little Parasol to lift

Her little Parasol to lift
And once to let it down
Her whole Responsibility --
To imitate be Mine.

A Summer further I must wear,
Content if Nature's Drawer
Present me from sepulchral Crease
As blemishless, as Her.

Her little Parasol to lift Volume: Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson Year: Published/Written in 1955 Poem of the Day: Jan 6 2008 Comment 1 of 1, added on January 6th, 2008 at 6:28 PM. Ms.Dickinson is one of the most enigmatic of poets for all time. Who is the "she" in this poem? What is the meaning of the parasol? I haven't researched her notes for a clue, but I think it is a symbol for the power to defend oneself against the elements of our human frailties. She is a girl, and she is a woman---strong in her fallability. Then, perhaps I am without a clue! art chapman from United States More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
