Four Trees -- upon a solitary Acre --

Emily DickinsonContemplative

Four Trees -- upon a solitary Acre -- Without Design Or Order, or Apparent Action -- Maintain --

The Sun -- upon a Morning meets them -- The Wind -- No nearer Neighbor -- have they -- But God --

The Acre gives them -- Place -- They -- Him -- Attention of Passer by -- Of Shadow, or of Squirrel, haply -- Or Boy --

What Deed is Theirs unto the General Nature -- What Plan They severally -- retard -- or further -- Unknown --
