Poem of the Week

Just started my senior year at Venice high school; this is a poem I had to analyze in my AP Literature class on the second day of school. Anyways, here we go:

Apparently with no surprise

To any happy Flower

The Frost beheads it at its play --

In accidental power --

The blonde Assassin passes on --

The Sun proceeds unmoved

To measure off another Day

For an Approving God.

- Emily Dickinson, "Apparently with no surprise"
