Glowing is her Bonnet,

Portrait of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson 1830–1886
72Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

Glowing is her Bonnet, Glowing is her Cheek, Glowing is her Kirtle, Yet she cannot speak.

Better as the Daisy From the Summer hill Vanish unrecorded Save by tearful rill --

Save by loving sunrise Looking for her face. Save by feet unnumbered Pausing at the place.

From the bookComplete Poems of Emily DickinsonEdited by Thomas H. Johnson (Little, Brown)
