Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 71. It makes no difference abroad

TWO WORLDS.


It makes no difference abroad,

The seasons fit the same,

The mornings blossom into noons,

And split their pods of flame.


Wild-flowers kindle in the woods,

The brooks brag all the day;

No blackbird bates his jargoning

For passing Calvary.


Auto-da-fe and judgment

Are nothing to the bee;

His separation from his rose

To him seems misery.
