Analysis of The One who could repeat the Summer day
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
The One who could repeat the Summer day—
Were greater than itself—though He
Minutest of Mankind should be—
And He—could reproduce the Sun—
At period of going down—
The Lingering—and the Stain—I mean—
When Orient have been outgrown
And Occident—become Unknown—
His Name—remain—
