Emily Dickinson - The Bee is not afraid of me.

The Bee is not afraid of me.
I know the Butterfly.
The pretty people in the Woods
Receive me cordially --

The Brooks laugh louder when I come --
The Breezes madder play;
Wherefore mine eye thy silver mists,
Wherefore, Oh Summer's Day?

This poem fills me with a light, airy feel. Emily Dickinson has the ability to make even the most high-maintenance, indoorsy types want to go into the woods and relax. I love it.
