I’ll tell you how the sun rose,—A ribbon at a time.The steeples swam in amethyst,The news like squirrels ran.The hills untied their bonnets,The bobolinks begun,Then I said softly to myself,“That must have been the sun!”But how he set, I know not.There seemed a purple stileWhich little yellow boys and girlsWere climbing all the while.Till when they reached the other side,A dominie in grayPut gently up the evening bars,And led the flock away.—Emily Dickinson.

I’ll tell you how the sun rose,—
A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.
The hills untied their bonnets,The bobolinks begun,Then I said softly to myself,“That must have been the sun!”
The hills untied their bonnets,
The bobolinks begun,
Then I said softly to myself,
“That must have been the sun!”
But how he set, I know not.There seemed a purple stileWhich little yellow boys and girlsWere climbing all the while.
But how he set, I know not.
There seemed a purple stile
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while.
Till when they reached the other side,A dominie in grayPut gently up the evening bars,And led the flock away.—Emily Dickinson.
Till when they reached the other side,
A dominie in gray
Put gently up the evening bars,
And led the flock away.
