There is Another Sky
'There is Another Sky' is written by Emily Dickinson.
It is a sonnet consisting of fourteen lines. It is a part of a letter that Emily Dickinson had written to her younger brother, asking him to return home. It can be said that the poem is philosophical in nature. The tone of the poem is encouraging, inspirational, and pleading. It is a call for a loved one to return home – to happiness and peace.
The poem begins with the line – 'There Is Another Sky' wherein the poet is referring to 'heaven', metaphorically referring to their home. She describes the beauty of it by telling us that the sunshine in this place that shines through the darkness, the forests remain green throughout the year and the 'garden' is a cheerful place with the bees humming amidst colourful flowers. The beauty of it all seems surreal and not related to the physical world that we live in. Thus, she tells her brother to ignore the faded forests and silent fields of the real world i.e. sadness and emptiness respectively and to rather come to visit her in this garden that is full of happiness and love. On a higher level, it is understood that through the lines of the poem, the poet is actually referring to their 'home'. Towards the end, she is pleading with her brother to return to this heaven-like place -home.
The poem appeals to the readers as it pulls the emotional strings by evoking the feeling of longing for one's home
