On This Long Storm The Rainbow Rose

Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

On this long storm the rainbow rose,
On this late morn the sun;
The clouds, like listless elephants,
Horizons straggled down.

The birds rose smiling in their nests,
The gales indeed were done;
Alas! how heedless were the eyes
On whom the summer shone!

The quiet nonchalance of death
No daybreak can bestir;
The slow archangel's syllables
Must awaken her.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: On This Long Storm The Rainbow Rose
