Answer 2

Epigram

THIS is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,—
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.

Her message is committed 5
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!


My first impression: I sympathized with the speaker knowing how Emily felt lonely and locked herself up inside her room. I felt like consoling her with sweet words, offering warmth and assurance that that at least one person in the world cared, . . . me!
Her concern with nature at times sounded fatalistic.
