There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields— Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!
it seems like she may be referring to the garden of eden. she was very spiritual, from being pushed by her father. the garden of eden is also supposed to be perfect. maybe she's telling her brother to forget about his troubles and look at a brighter side.

This may be a little out there, but I think she could be talking about intercourse. "There is another sunshine there though it be darkness there;" "Here is a little forest," "Where No frost has been" "Into my garden come!" I think that this poem can have a different meaning than the obvious.

I think that maybe she is trying to say that you have another chance at something, a better chance. When she says that it is where the frost has not been she is saying that it is where things are good and where he will have another chance at something. I mostly get this idea by the way she says that there is another sky, it kind of sounds like she is saying there is another chance to succeed. I might be crazy but stars are in the sky, and when you try something you reach for the stars. If there is another sky, there is another chance to reach for the stars.

I believe this poem was written for Emily's brother, Austin (hint the "Nevermind faded forests, Austin"). Perhaps she was writing this poem as guidence to him, telling him to always look on the bright side, or to not pay any attention to the darkness of the world.

i think this poem is about the fact that there is two ways. a dark one and the light one. this poem is probably saying to look at the light. so basically saying, look at the bright side! or even at the toughest tims you should look at the bright side.

I think it is just about how you shouldn't wish to be anyone but yourself (all referrs to garden ownership and maybe were the saying "the grass always looks greener in someone elses yard" came from)

I think she may be speaking in biblical terms... when she speaks of another sky, another sunshine -- one can translate that to "another light". In the first verses of genesis they speak of god making day and night but then they get more specific saying that by the second or third day he made "two lights" -- one being darkness; night (which is considered the lesser light) and then the greater light refering to day (seperating morning and afternoon)... After god made night and day he went on to make the plants, shribs, flowers (which would expalin why she speaks of green leaves and a brighter garden - the garden of eden) as well frost never having touched the garden... frost is a lot of the time i find associated as an effect of sin... the garden of eden had never encountered sin when it was first made therefore it was untouched by frost. And god welcomed Adam (brother?) into the garden

Actually, I believe she is referring to Heaven in this poem... hence all the "forever green" talk, and the general idea that everything is pretty much perfect. This also explains the name Austin; she had a brother named Austin who went missing. Death was something she wrote often about. Personally, I think this poem is beautiful, but that's just me.

She means there is more beyond what we can see. If there is a dark sky, there is light behind it and for all the faded forests, there are a million beautiful ones. It wouldn't kill you to open your mind

I absolutely hated the poem. What do you mean - there is another sky? THERE IS ONLY ONE SKY. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that.
