My Garden

There is Another Sky by Emily Dickinson

Published in 1890

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields -
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

My Garden

Florida is where I go,

For the warmth of the air,

And frolic through the orange grove,

Beaches are somewhere there;

Water washes up on the shoreline,

Dolphins are seen close by,

And the sun brings its shine,

Dazzling in the bright sky,

Poor weather I pardon,

For I will not say bye,

This land is my garden
