The attitude in this poem that I could draw is optimistic, cheerful, thoughtful, humble, calm, and consoling. Dickinson has used some imagery connotations, like sight, for “little bird”, “gale” and “storm”, touch for “chilliest land”, and sound for “tune without words”.
The reader should pay attention to the syllables and accented words to figure out the pattern of the poem. She has written this poem in alternating lines of 8 syllables and 6 syllables. Dickinson follows a specific pattern of writing pattern, which we call a common meter.
Hence, there is no authority to the meaning and expression of the poem it could be anyone’s thought or expression. In her poems, she uses the word ‘I’, which however does not mean Dickinson herself, but the speaker of the poem this ‘I’ could also be any person: who is reading the poem, or who is listening to it, and is able to relate to it. As mentioned earlier, she has written all her poems in melancholy and solitude, where poems became her only mode mean of expression of thoughts. On pondering upon the writing style of Emily Dickinson, one might find it to be short in nature, lyrical, and an expression of feelings and thoughts.
