YOU CANNOT PUT A FIRE OUT, by EMILY DICKINSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
Last Line: And tell your cedar floor
Subject(s): Fire; Floods
Last Line: And tell your cedar floor
Subject(s): Fire; Floods
You cannot put a Fire out -
A Thing that can ignite
Can go, itself, without a Fan -
Upon the slowest Night -
You cannot fold a Flood -
And put it in a Drawer -
Because the Winds would find it out -
And tell your Cedar Floor
