Emily Dickinson preferred mystery and originality in her poems. Here, she seems to be expressing patriotism for the US in preference to her family's origin in the UK. Beck is a small ( north ) English stream and burn means the same in Scotland. Moor is a wild, open and hilly area of British grassland. Indeed, Dickinson is an old English family name.

I do not know why you guys do not screen the comments made on some of the poems here, but for anyone to say that Miss Dickinson was a "crackhead" is obscene,and does not need to take away from the wonerment of this poem. Only someone with no soul, would be able to make that kind of comment anyway. And I really am not sure why he is reading her poems if that is how he feels. Thank you.
