DEATH IS LIKE THE INSECT, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Tis the vermin's will Subject(s): Insects; Death; Trees | ||||||||
Death is like the insect Menacing the tree, Competent to kill it, But decoyed may be. Bait it with the balsam, Seek it with the saw, Baffle, if it cost you Everything you are. Then, if it have burrowed Out of reach of skill - Wring the tree and leave it, 'Tis the vermin's will. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIBING TREES by ROBERT HASS THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MIDNIGHT EDEN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN REFLECTION OF THE WOOD by LEONIE ADAMS |
