That Irony Thing

First, Read this:

"Morning"—means "Milking"—to the Farmer—
Dawn—to the Teneriffe—
Dice—to the Maid—
Morning means just Risk—to the Lover—
Just revelation—to the Beloved—

Epicures—date a Breakfast—by it—
Brides—an Apocalypse—
Worlds—a Flood—
Faint-going Lives—Their Lapse from Sighing—
Faith—The Experiment of Our Lord 

Can you guess who this poem is by? Yes, you guessed it! Emily Dickinson. Now, onto what I wish I get paid for.

This poem is ironic in how certain words mean different things to different people. Take the first line: morning doesn't really mean milking to farmer, its just what it connotes to; its the first thing this man thinks of when he gets up in the morning (*Yawn* Gotta milk Betsy). Let's go on to the second line. Teneriffe is an island in the Canary Islands of Spain; tourists flock to this island because of its rustic beauty. By being such a beautiful and relaxing place, for some people it may be the first thing they think of when they see or think of dawn. Travel on down to the second stanza, second line. First off, Apocalypse means the end of the world, as we know it. Being a bride is being in a transitional state, the end of something and the start of another. For some brides the process of marriage is seen as an apocalyse, an end and a beginning, which is bad. But this is what being a bride connotes, to them. Let's move on to the last line in the second stanza. Faith is considered many things: blind belief, unbending foundation, really its whatever you want it to be. But, mainly to Christians, faith is what Dickinson wrote, an experiment of God. Oh, oh, oh. This is Dramatic irony.
