When roses bloom

A blackout poem made from a page of poetry by Emily Dickinson. Most of the poem is crossed out in black, and the remaining words are circled. Various music notes and a treble clef are drawn around the page.

WHEN roses bloom
solemn
beyond the sun,
gather
summer
music whippoorwill
oriole
lark you’ll find music,
true
