Summer for thee, grant I may be
by Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) English
Summer for thee, grant I may be
When Summer days are flown!
Thy music still, when Whipporwill
And Oriole — are done!
For thee to bloom, I'll skip the tomb
And row my blossoms o'er!
Pray gather me —
Anemone —
Thy flower — forevermore!

It quivered through the Grass
And a Green Chill upon the Heat …
