I hope this is your answer
Explanation:
The poem "I'll tell you when the sun rose", is about the sunset and the sunrise. In this poem Emily describes the sunset and sunrise, as a village, and the things in that village. But the poem also describes the difficulties of perceiving the world around us. The sunrise is described in terms of a small village, with church steeples, town news, and ladies bonnets. Where the sunset is characterized as the gathering home of a flock. Than in the end, how the poem shifted it's tone, it seems that she was more confident telling about how sun rose, rather than how the sun-set because that might change the theme of the poem, it might turn from a light poem to a sort of dark and heavy poem. In this poem she probes nature's mysteries through the lens of the rising and setting sun.
Emily begins by asserting that she is going to tell her audience “how the Sun rose.” She metaphorically compares the sun’s rays to ribbons that are let loose one at a time.The colorful rays slowly unravel over the ocean where the church steeples seem to “swim in Amethyst.” As the bright fire of the sun appears, the darkened blackness first turns blue, before taking on its brightness in the full glow of the sun.Then suddenly the sun’s appearance spreads quickly.
Emily then reports, “the Hills untied their Bonnets — The Bobolinks — begun.” All of nature is waking up and color can be seen as far away as the hills, while the birds have started to sing.Emily then reports that in her surprised musing, she utters to herself, “That must have been the Sun”! It is as if she was seeing it for the first time and marveling at the effect the mere rising of the sun has had on all that she sees. She must liken the event to common things she knows in order to make such a report.
Emily seems to imagine her location closer to the sunrise than to the sunset, which is, of course, not literally true, but her little drama depends on this little fiction. Even though she cannot “know” for sure how the sun set, she can imagine and report what she thinks she sees.It seemed to her that as the sun set, she saw “a purple stile” where “little Yellow boy and girls were climbing.”After climbing the stile, the children finally reach the other side, which heralds the lowest point of the sun before it disappears. And what causes the sun to finally disappear is that a cleric or perhaps even a householder shepherd closes a gate and leads away the flock of children or perhaps sheep. At this point, the speaker would be in darkness and have no idea what happens next.The uncertainty of the how the sun set causes the speaker’s language choices to be tentative, not as certain as she was about how the sun rose. She sees children climbing over a barrier, possibly going home after a day of tending sheep or perhaps simply on their way home from school.
