Question

what do the girl and boy do tell they reached the other side. (A day) poem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In summary, the poem begins with Dickinson’s speaker describing the rising sun as a series of ribbons in the sky, with the sunlight bathing the tops of the churches in a deep violet colour like amethyst. The ‘news’ that the sun has risen (a nice touch, not just because each day is literally a new day, but because people get the daily newspapers in the morning) spreads quickly ‘like Squirrels’ running, and the hills seem to be removing their bonnets in glorious abandon. The ‘Bobolinks’ (a species of American blackbird) begin their morning song, and the speaker attributes this to the rising of the sun.

Sunrise 1But contrasting with this joyous picture of the sunrise we have something more subdued when we come to Dickinson’s description of the sunset. From the soft violet colour of the ‘Amethyst’ sunrise, we move to a darker ‘purple stile’, denoting a boundary – perhaps, here, suggesting the horizon, that boundary between land and sky.
