The Bluebird
Emily Dickinson
1830 to 1886
Before you thought of spring,
Except as a surmise,
You see, God bless his suddenness,
A fellow in the skies
Of independent hues,
A little weather-worn,
Inspiriting habiliments
Of indigo and brown.
With specimens of song,
As if for you to choose,
Discretion in the interval,
With gay delays he goes
To some superior tree
Without a single leaf,
And shouts for joy to nobody
But his seraphic self!
Emily Dickinson's The Bluebird
I am busy working to bring Emily Dickinson's "The Bluebird" 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 home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Emily Dickinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Bluebird" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
