Emily Dickinson
To hear an Oriole sing
526

To hear an Oriole sing
May be a common thing
Or only a divine

It is not of the Bird
Who sings the same, unheard
As unto Crowd

The Fashion of the Ear
Attireth that it hear
In Dun, or fair

So whether it be Rune
Or whether it be none
Is of within

The "Tune is in the Tree—"
The Skeptic—showeth me
"No Sir! In Thee!"
