(POEM BY EMILY DICKINSON, 1862) After great pain, a formal feeling comes – The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs – The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’ And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’? The Feet, mechanical, go round – A Wooden way Of Ground, or Air, or Ought – Regardless grown, A Quartz contentment, like a stone – This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow – First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –

Algae - Filamentous - Peripheral 02:18
lyrics
(POEM BY BRIDGET BARTALl) Algae - Filamentous - Peripheral The time of the season Big lakes unthawing - as they will - Will they, drift toward the pond The space between is warmer - now - Attached cells - lie - pestered Ooze between my toes - I sew Back as two - do you stand? Pandiculation on a float Loch scum hit clavicle - end - I - do you love me - slid Back to warm - domicil'd

about

As a final project for my Emily Dickinson class, I set one of my favorite Dickinson poems to music. I've also set one of my own Dickinson-inspired poems to song. You can click on each song to view Dickinson's verse and my verse.
