Nature is what we seeee

Natural is what we see. In Emily Dickinson's poems, a lot of them contains about natural. Due to her own experience, for example, she lives alone in a place which is far away from populations and communities. So she has a lot of chances to find the special meaning of nature to her, and take adventure for it. So this poem is about both in realistic that the beauty of natural, but also the metaphor from the the description of nature. 
This is a short poem, with only a single stanza and 12 lines, with her unique settings of dashes and non title poem, but meaning instead of the size. She goes really straight to it to give us her definition of natural. " "Nature" is what we see—The Hill—the Afternoon— Nay—Nature is Heaven— Nature is what we hear— Nay—Nature is Harmony— Nature is what we know—Yet have no art to say—" Natural. From anything listed with time, (afternoon), metaphor (heaven), harmony (description). To be surprised, normally her poem has double meaning, one positive and one negative. But this time she wrote anthem for the natural, like worshipping the god. As a great poet, her poem in physical shaped well too. For example, the rhythm is really beautiful. For example, the ending of the lines are connected with words "see, eclipse, bee, sea , say , simplicity" with "c" sound. And nature (nay) with "heaven, hear, " and so on.
