Problem
Tell all the truth but tell it slant - (1263) BY EMILY DICKINSON Tell all the truth but tell it slant -
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth's superb surprise
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind -
• Rhyme: Is there any end rhyme, internal rhyme, or slant rhyme? (What is the rhyme scheme?)
• Music: Read the poem aloud. How does the poem sound? Jarring? Short? Musical? Sing-songy? Melodic?
