Fridge Art 5

A lady red upon the hill
     Her annual secret keeps;
A lady while within the field
     In placid lily sleeps!

The tidy breezes with their brooms
     Sweep vale, and hill, and tree!
Prithee, my pretty housewives!
     Who may expected be?

The neighbors do not yet suspect!
     The woods exchange a smile --
Orchard, and buttercup, and bird --
     In such a little while!

And yet how still the landscape stands,
     How nonchalant the wood,
As if the resurrection
     Were nothing very odd!


The Waking Year, by Emily Dickinson
