A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree

A Drop Fell on the Apple Tree opens with a single raindrop and swells into a full summer shower. Emily Dickinson's poem follows the water from the roof to the eaves, where the gables seem to laugh, and out to the brook racing toward the sea. The speaker wonders whether the drops are pearls, then watches dust settle, birds sing louder, and sunshine toss aside his hat. Playful and bright, it turns weather into a festival.
