A Snake [Sweet is the swamp with its secrets]

________________________________________________
Title:     A Snake [Sweet is the swamp with its secrets]
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Sweet is the swamp with its secrets,
Until we meet a snake;
'T is then we sigh for houses,
And our departure take
At that enthralling gallop
That only childhood knows.
A snake is summer's treason,
And guile is where it goes.
