Emily Dickinson - There is another sky

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

In this sweetly charming poem Emily Dickinson is declaring -- albeit to herself -- that the incompatibility her brother discovered with his wife should be put into perspective. "... another sky" and "... another sunshine, Though it be darknesss there" means the Universe and the insignificance of our problems. "... faded forests" and "... silent fields" suggests thoughtful lonely walks her brother took in his anxiety. Then she concludes by stating that he can always find true loving solace and understanding with her his sister.

I would very much like to thank qirobin for the highly kind Chinese translation so that many others can read this remarkable poem!
