"The breezes brought dejected lutes,
And bathed them in the glee;
The East put out a single flag,
And signed the fete away."
Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Summer Shower by Dickinson
A drop fell on the apple tree,
Another on the roof;
A half a dozen kissed the eaves,
And made the gables laugh.
A few went out to help the brook,
That went to help the sea.
Myself conjectured, Were they pearls,
What necklac | c**c

《现代英汉综合大辞典》关于east的解释有这么一项：
[诗]东风
也许就是东风的意思吧。。。
这里有个Emily Dickinson讨论版，可以去问问：
