She Sweeps With Many-Colored Brooms

Title:     She Sweeps With Many-Colored Brooms
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

She sweeps with many-colored brooms,
And leaves the shreds behind;
Oh, housewife in the evening west,
Come back, and dust the pond!

You dropped a purple ravelling in,
You dropped an amber thread;
And now you 've littered all the East
With duds of emerald!

And still she plies her spotted brooms,
And still the aprons fly,
Till brooms fade softly into stars --
And then I come away.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: She Sweeps With Many-Colored Brooms
