March is the Month of Expectation / Emily Dickinson


[1404]

March is the Month of Expectation.
The things we do not know —
The Persons of prognostication
Are coming now —
We try to show becoming firmness —
But pompous Joy
Betrays us, as his first Betrothal
Betrays a Boy.

~~
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

[Poem is in the public domain worldwide]


"March is the Month of Expectation" read by Fabricio Guerrini.

    Anticipation, and then perhaps an engagement is broken re. the boy being betrayed. A 'puppy love' perhaps. Who knows? 🤔
