Emily Dickinson Poems?

Question:

Emily Dickinson Poems?

I have to write a paper on any 2 of Emily Dickinson's poems and analyze them. I think I pretty much understand the 2 I picked, but if anyone has any opinions on what they mean that might help me with the paper, I'd appreciate it. This is due tomorrow, so I'm writting it now. Ah procrastination! I love it right up until the last minute-when I have to do whatever it is I put off.

Poem 1: LET down the bars, O Death!
The tired flocks come in
Whose bleating ceases to repeat,
Whose wandering is done.

Thine is the stillest night, 5
Thine the securest fold;
Too near thou art for seeking thee,
Too tender to be told.

Poem 2: I ??VE seen a dying eye
Run round and round a room
In search of something, as it seemed,
Then cloudier become;
And then, obscure with fog, 5
And then be soldered down,
Without disclosing what it be,
??T were blessed to have seen.

Thanks!!!
