Explore "The Oriole's Secret" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
To hear an oriole sing / May be a common thing, / Or only a divine.
It is not of the bird / Who sings the same, unheard, / As unto crowd.
The fashion of the ear / Attireth that it hear / In dun or fair.
So whether it be rune, / Or whether it be none, / Is of within;
The "tune is in the tree,"
The sceptic showeth me; / "No, sir! In thee! "
