 Happy Summer!

SUMMER FOR THEE, GRANT I MAY BE
BY EMILY DICKINSON

Summer for thee, grant I may be
When Summer days are flown!
Thy music still, when Whipporwill
And Oriole -- are done!

For thee to bloom, I'll skip the tomb
And row my blossoms o'er!
Pray gather me --
Anemone --
Thy flower -- forevermore!

***As always, Nature speaks in this poem. Almost a prayer that the speaker, the anemone, be allowed to be "summer" when it is gone; to be music when the songs of the birds are gone. Then, an abrupt promise: to bloom for the hearer, the anemone will be plowed under. Then the prayer again that the speaker, the anemone, be gathered forever. Typical Dickinson: personification and a dialogue between some element of nature speaking to the hearer or reader, in this case. Yes, this is a "summer" poem.


May your SUMMER be a HAPPY and CONTENTED one!

THEY WERE CARRYING SEVERAL PALM BRANCHES. THE BOY ASKED WHAT THEY WERE FOR.
"PEOPLE HELD THEM OVE R JESUS' HEAD AS HE WALKED BY."
"WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT," THE BOY FUMED, "THE ONE SUNDAY I DON'T GO, HE SHOWS UP!"

CHILDREN'S SERMON:
ONE EASTER SUNDAY MORNING AS THE MINISTER WAS PREACHING THE CHILDREN'S SERMON, HE REACHED INTO HIS BAG OF PROPS AND PULLED OUT AN EGG. HE POINTED AT THE EGG AND ASKED THE CHILDREN, "WHAT'S IN HERE?" "I KNOW!" A LITTLE BOY EXCLAIMED. "PANTYHOSE!"
