Another - on the Roof - A Half a Dozen kissed the Eaves - And made the Gables laugh -
 * || ==== A Drop fell on the Apple Tree ==== ||||  ||
 * by Emily Dickinson ||
 * A Drop fell on the Apple Tree -
 * A Drop fell on the Apple Tree -

A few went out to help the Brook That went to help the Sea - Myself Conjectured were they Pearls - What Necklaces could be -

The Dust replaced, in Hoisted Roads - The Birds jocoser sung - The Sunshine threw his Hat away - The Bushes - spangles flung -

The Breezes brought dejected Lutes - And bathed them in the Glee - The Orient showed a single Flag, And signed the fête away - ||

He did not know I saw— He bit an Angleworm in halves And ate the fellow, raw,
 * A Bird came down the Walk ||||  ||
 * by Emily Dickinson ||
 * A Bird came down the Walk—
 * A Bird came down the Walk—

And then he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass— And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass—

He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all around— They looked like frightened Beads, I thought— He stirred his Velvet Head

Like one in danger, Cautious, I offered him a Crumb And he unrolled his feathers And rowed him softer home—

Than Oars divide the Ocean, Too silver for a seam— Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon Leap, plashless as they swim. ||
