A Drop Fell On The Apple Tree Poem by Emily Dickinson

A Drop Fell On The Apple Tree

Rating: 3.0


A drop fell on the apple tree
Another on the roof;
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,
And made the gables laugh.

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 roa
The birds jocoser sung;
The sunshine threw his hat away,
The orchards spangles hung.

The breezes brought dejected
And bathed them in the glee;
The East put out a single flag,
And signed the fete away.

Marvelously entertaining and very proactive, in terms of her 'twist of fate' of the poem's theme, in the last few lines.

EMILY DICKINSON, my most favourite Classic Poets of all time, gives me with this poem enormous JOY and YOUTH, as if she is still alive. Poems can do wonders

TWO: Here, the poet explores themes of nature, rebirth or revitalization, and liveliness/life. The poem emphasizes the transformative nature of rain in a dry, summer environment. Throughout the mood is uplifting and lighthearted.

ONE: A drop fell on the apple tree' by Emily Dickinson is filled with joy. It describes, with ED's classic skill, images of the summer season and how a storm can influence it.
