Lyric Poem · Autumn

Autumn—overlooked my Knitting

by Emily Dickinson

Autumn — overlooked my Knitting —

Dyes — said He — have I —

Could disparage a Flamingo —

Show Me them — said I —

Cochineal — I chose — for deeming

It resemble Thee —

And the little Border — Dusker —

For resembling Me —

This poem is in the public domain.
