I know a place where Summer strives by Emily Dickinson

In this poem, "Summer" is personified as a woman who feels lost when fall and winter come. However, when spring becomes to come and she feels renewed. The poem is about the cycle of life and how it is neverending.

"I know a place where Summer strives"

I know a place where Summer strives
With such a practised Frost -
She — each year — leads her Daisies back -
Recording briefly — "Lost" -

But when the South Wind stirs the Pools
And struggles in the lanes -
Her Heart misgives Her, for Her Vow -
And she pours soft Refrains

Into the lap of Adamant -
And spices — and the Dew -
That stiffens quietly to Quartz -
Upon her Amber Shoe -
