Э. Дикинсон. Вскроешь Птицу - найдешь в ней Песню

Вскроешь Птицу — найдешь в ней Песню — 
Трель за трелью из серебра —               
Скромно звучала Летним Утром 
Помни, если Лютня стара.               

Крови поток — найдешь причину —
Всхлип за Всхлипом — тебе слова —               
Фома Маловерный! Видишь,
Что Птица твоя тебе верна?

Split the Lark — and you'll find the Music —
Bulb after Bulb, in Silver rolled —
Scantilly dealt to the Summer Morning
Saved for your Ear when Lutes be old.

Loose the Flood — you shall find it patent —
Gush after Gush, reserved for you —
Scarlet Experiment! Sceptic Thomas!
Now, do you doubt that your Bird was true?

                Emily Dickinson

The poet-speaker, accused by her lover of some kind of infidelity, and wounded by the lack of trust, finds a violent metaphor for her pain at his assault.
                Helen Vendler

The poem employs sensory imagery and contrasting metaphors to explore the themes of discovery, truth, and the power of nature. The poem presents a series of challenges to an implied skeptic, inviting them to experience the wonders of nature directly. By splitting the "Lark," the speaker suggests that music and beauty can be found in even the most unexpected places. The "flood" is similarly a symbol of abundance and revelation. The poem ultimately celebrates the transformative power of nature and the importance of embracing uncertainty.
