Analysis of Heaven has different signs to me

Heaven has different signs to me tells of different natural signs that represent Heaven. The first and second stanzas compare noon to Heaven or the “place” and also humanize the sunrise as an eye that opens to watch over the world. The second and third stanzas together tell how the sun spotlights the birds as they fly in the typical “V” shape. Dickinson compares the end of the day to the rapture where all men return home. This poem describes different signs of our everyday lives that represent Heaven and the final days of the earth. It also presents the idea that the natural beauty of Earth is used by God to prepare humans for what could be expected in Heaven.
