Ill tell you how the sun rose

I'll tell you how the sun rose-
A ribbon at a time
The steeples swam in amethyst
The news,like squirrels,ran
The hills untied their bonnets
The bobolinks
Then i said softly to myself
That must have been the sun
But how he set i know not
There seemed a purple stile
That little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while
Till when they reached the other side
A dominie in gray
Put gently up the evening bars
And led the flock away

Answer 1

Many of Emily Dickinson’s poems begin as if she is responding to an unheard question or request. ‘I’m Nobody! Who are you?’ is one such poem, and ‘I’ll tell you how the Sun rose’ is another. In this post, we offer some notes towards an analysis of this captivating poem.

I hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

I can’t give you my full 2 paragraphs answer, because the teacher uses a turn it in tracker, which somehow finds plagarism, which I learned the hard way, but I can give you a very big hint. Think about how she capitalizes the words she uses as personification for other words.
