Emily Dickinson's "The morns are meeker..." as performed by Adele M, October 25, 2010. Early Dickinson, mid-fall, early Adele. Adele: "I guess I like Emily Dickinson, because I like history, and she's from a long time ago. I really liked this poem. It's pretty easy to understand. I understood that [in this poem] everything was getting dressed up for fall, and she felt like she should get dressed up."
"The morns are meeker than they were..." by Emily Dickinson (poem 12)
The morns are meeker than they were—
The nuts are getting brown—
The berry's cheek is plumper—
The Rose is out of town.
The Maple wears a gayer scarf—
The field a scarlet gown—
Lest I should be old fashioned
I'll put a trinket on.
