Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the culprit, — Life!
I am busy working to bring Emily Dickinson's "Surgeons must be very careful" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Surgeons must be very careful" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
