  • The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean | Emily Dickinson

The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean | Emily Dickinson

dark sky with white clouds

The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean

Emily Dickinson

The Sky is low — the Clouds are mean.
A Travelling Flake of Snow
Across a Barn or through a Rut
Debates if it will go —

A Narrow Wind complains all Day
How some one treated him
Nature, like Us, is sometimes caught
Without her Diadem —
