OUR LIVES ARE SWISS, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Forever intervene! Subject(s): Alps | |||
Our lives are Swiss - So still - so Cool - Till some odd afternoon The Alps neglect their Curtains And we look farther on! Italy stands the other side! While like a guard between - The solemn Alps - The siren Alps Forever intervene! Papa above! Regard a Mouse O'erpowered by the Cat! Reserve within thy kingdom A "Mansion" for the Rat! Snug in seraphic Cupboards To nibble all the day While unsuspecting Cycles Wheel solemnly away! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN ALPINE PICTURE by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH MOUNTAINEER AND POET by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING HYMN TO MONT BLANC [IN THE VALE OF CHAMOUNI] by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE EVENING SONG OF THE TYROLESE PEASANTS by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS ON A FLOWER FROM THE FIELD OF GRUTLI by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS THE CASTLE OF CHILLON by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON SWITZERLAND AND ITALY by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES SIMMENTHAL by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS AN ALPINE DESCENT by SAMUEL ROGERS FAITH' IS A FINE INVENTION by EMILY DICKINSON |
