There Is Another Sky By Emily Dickinson


There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

I love the nature of this poem. It is so short and sweet and gives some good imagery of the nature around us all. Dickinson states something good and then contradicts it and says something dark. It is just beautiful.
