Text
A Wind Like a Bugle
by Emily Dickinson
There came a wind like a bugle,
It quivered through the grass,
And a green chill upon the heat
So ominous did pass
We barred the window and the doors
As from an emerald ghost
The doom’s electric moccasin
That very instant passed.
On a strange mob of planting trees,
And fences fled away,
And rivers where the houses ran
The living looked that day,
The bell within the steeple wild,
The flying tidings whirled.
How much can come and much can go,
And yet abide the world!

Velvet people
A wind like a bugle
The morns are meeker
Clover
Nature, the gentlest mother
A wind like a bugle
The morns are meeker
Clover
Nature, the gentlest mother
