The Wind Took Up the Northern Things, por Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

The Wind Took Up the Northern Things

The Wind took up the Northern Things

And piled them in the south -

Then gave the East unto the West

And opening his mouth

The four Divisions of the Earth

Did make as to devour

While everything to corners slunk

Behind the awful power -

The Wind - unto his Chambers went

And nature ventured out -

Her subjects scattered into place

Her systems ranged about

Again the smoke from Dwellings rose

The Day abroad was heard -

How intimate, a Tempest past

The Transport of the Bird -
