Poems by Emily Dickinson: A train went through a burial gate

Updated May 6, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

IX

 
A train went through a burial gate,
A bird broke forth and sang,
And trilled, and quivered, and shook his throat
Till all the churchyard rang;
And then adjusted his little notes,
And bowed and sang again.
Doubtless, he thought it meet of him
To say good-by to men.
