Via Cammy Kaynor today. I think all of us New Englanders and Near-New Englanders take every opportunity to see the foreshadowing of Spring this time of year.<\/p>\n

Dear March – Come In-<\/a>
\n(Emily Dickinson #1320)<\/p>\n

Dear March – Come in-
\nHow glad I am-
\nI hoped for you before-<\/p>\n

Put down your Hat-
\nYou must have walked-
\nHow out of breath you are-
\nDear March, how are you, and the Rest-
\nDid you leave Nature well-
\nOh March, Come right up stairs with me-
\nI have so much to tell-<\/p>\n

I got your Letter, and the Birds-
\nThe Maples never knew that you were coming-till I called
\nI declare-how Red their Faces grew-
\nBut March, forgive me-and
\nAll those Hills you left for me to Hue-
\nThere was no Purple suitable-
\nYou took it all with you-<\/p>\n

Who knocks? That April.
\nLock the Door-
\nI will not be pursued-
\nHe stayed away a Year to call
\nWhen I am occupied-
\nBut trifles look so trivial
\nAs soon as you have come<\/p>\n

That Blame is just as dear as Praise
\nAnd Praise as mere as Blame-<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
