The Bobolink Is Gone

Emily Dickinson

1591

The Bobolink is gone-
The Rowdy of the Meadow-
And no one swaggers now but me-
The Presbyterian Birds
Can now resume the Meeting
He boldly interrupted that overflowing Day
When supplicating mercy
In a portentous way
He swung upon the Decalogue
And shouted let us pray-
