The Robin is a Gabriel by Emily Dickinson
The Robin is a Gabriel In humble circumstances -- His Dress denotes him socially, Of Transport's Working Classes -- He has the punctuality Of the New England Farmer -- The same oblique integrity, A Vista vastly warmer --
A small but sturdy Residence A self denying Household, The Guests of Perspicacity Are all that cross his Threshold -- As covert as a Fugitive, Cajoling Consternation By Ditties to the Enemy And Sylvan Punctuation --
