The poem speaks of ongoing change in both the wild world and the civilized
world. Mother Nature is depicted as conscious and enthusiastic about
change, mirroring civilization's passion for the same. And yet, as the
changes in Nature are cyclical, so in the world of civilization do the
constant changes merely represent a great cycle. There is an upgrade of
technology and of social consciousness with each revolution, but the basic
themes remain the same. In "the morns are meeker than they were" Dickinson
is showing us how, despite the new faces and stories we impose upon it, the
human story is the same as it has always been.

to us, my 5 and 7 yodd's this poem is talking about in autumn, the mornings
being much meeker than previous season...and of other changes taking place,
berries plumper, nuts turing brown, ect. and the second stanza...looking at
the changing trees and the fields...how the colors of fall are different as
if they had put on new clothes, fancy clothes....so unless she (emily) is
going to be old fashioned and not bother with the changing "trend" so to
speek, she will put on a trinket.
