Make me a picture of the sun -So I can hang it in my room -And make believe I'm getting warmWhen others call it "Day"!Draw me a Robin - on a stem -So I am hearing him, I'll dream,And when the Orchards stop their tune -Put my pretense - away -Say if it's really - warm at noon -Whether it's Buttercups - that "skim" -Or Butterflies - that "bloom"?Then - skip - the frost - upon the lea -And skip the Russet - on the tree -Let's play those - never come!Emily Dickinson
