191 <br /> <br />The Skies can't keep their secret! <br />They tell it to the Hills— <br />The Hills just tell the Orchards— <br />And they—the Daffodils! <br /> <br />A Bird—by chance—that goes that way— <br />Soft overhears the whole— <br />If I should bribe the little Bird— <br />Who knows but she would tell? <br /> <br />I think I won't—however— <br />It's finer—not to know— <br />If Summer were an Axiom— <br />What sorcery had Snow? <br /> <br />So keep your secret—Father! <br />I would not—if I could, <br />Know what the Sapphire Fellows, do, <br />In your new-fashioned world!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-skies-can-t-keep-their-secret/
