The Secret
The Secret, a short poem by Emily Dickinson, sets three quiet stanzas side by side: things that fly, things that stay, and things that rise while resting. Birds, hours, and the bumble-bee pass without mourning, while grief, hills, and eternity stay put. The speaker's voice turns from certainty to wonder, ending on a question about the skies. A brief, hushed riddle that rewards a slow second reading.
