Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

Like Brooms of Steel

Like Brooms of Steel
The Snow and Wind
Had swept the Winter Street -
The House was hooked
The Sun sent out
Faint Deputies of Heat -
Where rode the Bird
The Silence tied
His ample - plodding Steed
The Apple in the Cellar snug
Was all the one that played.
