The poem is chosen from The Poems of Emily Dickinson.Emily Dickinson observes nature carefully,recording things in the form of poetry.She often describes small things that people tend to overlook.In her poetry,things can be divided into two basic categories:natural beauty,plants and animals.This chosen poem is about a hummingbird,with two stanzas and eight lines in all.Though it is short,it is not easy to understand.What I have done is to appreciate the poem by rhetorical,phonological,lexical,and grammatical means.Being different ways,they all function to serve the poem to reach a harmonious,integrated meaning.
