Who could be motherless

who has a Mother's Grave

within confiding reach?

Indian Summer: A Quotation from Emily Dickinson

These Indian-Summer Days

with their peculiar Peace

remind me of those stillest things

that no one can disturb.

Emily Dickinson on dreaming about her father

I dream about father every night,

always a different dream,

and forget what I am doing daytimes,

wondering where he is.

Without any body, I keep thinking.

What kind can that be?

-- Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
