Emily Dickinson

10 December 1830 – 15 May 1886 / Amherst / Massachusetts

On my volcano grows the Grass

On my volcano grows the Grass
A meditative spot -
An acre for a Bird to choose
Would be the General thought -

How red the Fire rocks below -
How insecure the sod
Did I disclose
Would populate with awe my solitude.
