By: Emily Dickinson
New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.
New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!
In my opinion this poem is not talking about just Emily Dickinson's garden but instead the whole world. In the beginning she says "New feet within my garden go" and I think this symbolizes spring because people start working with the Earth in the spring. Also in the second stanza I think she is talking about babies being born in the first ling and then people dying and being buried in the second line. In the last two lines I think she means that no matter what happens the world keeps turning and the seasons keep changing.
