It Will Be Summer Eventually - meaning Summary
Seasonal Continuity and Renewal
The poem reassures that summer will come again, using everyday scenes—parasols, dolls, lilacs, bees—to imagine the landscape revived and animated. Dickinson links seasonal recurrence to inherited rhythms: flowers blooming, bees humming their "forefathers" tune, and communal rituals. Domestic and liturgical metaphors of folding gowns and adjusting symbols emphasize cyclical closure and renewal. The tone blends gentle observation with a calm trust in nature's restorative patterns.

Ladies with parasols Sauntering Gentlemen with Canes And little Girls with Dolls Will tint the pallid landscape As ’twere a bright Bouquet Thro’ drifted deep, in Parian The Village lies today The Lilacs bending many a year Will sway with purple load The Bees will not despise the tune Their Forefathers have hummed The Wild Rose redden in the Bog The Aster on the Hill Her everlasting fashion set And Covenant Gentians frill Till Summer folds her miracle As Women do their Gown Of Priests adjust the Symbols When Sacrament is done
