Poems by Emily Dickinson: Alpine Glow

Updated May 6, 2020 | Infoplease Staff

Alpine Glow

Our lives are Swiss, —
So still, so cool,
Till, some odd afternoon,
The Alps neglect their curtains,
And we look farther on.
Italy stands the other side,
While, like a guard between,
The solemn Alps,
The siren Alps,
Forever intervene!
