NCERT Book Class 12 English (kaleidoscope) Poetry 5 Trees

5 Trees Emily Dickinson is regarded as one of America’s quintessential poets of the nineteenth century. She lived an introverted and hermetic life, and published very few of her poems in her lifetime. Her output, 1789 poems in all, were published posthumously. Her poetry is characterised by unconventional Emily Dickinson capitalisation and extensive use of dashes, 1830-1886 along with unusual imagery and lyric style. The Trees like Tassels hit – and – swung – There seemed to rise a Tune From Miniature Creatures Accompanying the Sun – Far Psalteries of Summer – Enamoring the Ear They never yet did satisfy – Remotest – when most fair The Sun shone whole at intervals – Then Half – then utter hid – As if Himself were optional And had Estates of Cloud Sufficient to enfold Him Eternally from view – Except it were a whim of His To let the Orchards grow – Reprint 2026-27
