A Bee his burnished Carriage

Portrait of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson 1830–1886
1339Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

A Bee his burnished Carriage Drove boldly to a Rose -- Combinedly alighting -- Himself -- his Carriage was -- The Rose received his visit With frank tranquillity Withholding not a Crescent To his Cupidity -- Their Moment consummated -- Remained for him -- to flee -- Remained for her -- of rapture But the humility.

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