To my quick ear the leaves conferred

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

      The bushes they were bells;

I could not find a privacy

      From Nature's sentinels.


In cave if I presumed to hide,

      The walls began to tell;

Creation seemed a mighty crack

      To make me visible.
