In tHe Garden
Photography by Liz Huston
“Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn
Indicative that sun will go down;
The notice to the startled grass
That darkness is about to pass.” —Emily Dickinson
Pink, small, and punctual.
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.
—Emily Dickinson
