Analysis of I keep my pledge
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
I keep my pledge.
I was not called—
Death did not notice me.
I bring my Rose.
I plight again,
By every sainted Bee—
By Daisy called from hillside—
by Bobolink from lane.
Blossom and I—
Her oath, and mine—
Will surely come again.
