Midsummer, was it, when They died
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Midsummer, was it, when They died—
A full, and perfect time—
The Summer closed upon itself
In Consummated Bloom—
The Corn, her furthest kernel filled
Before the coming Flail—
When These—leaned unto Perfectness—
Through Haze of Burial—
