To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.

    It s the final and most comprehensive story of Emily Dickinson’s life … written by herself.

    Please read this poem aloud for its true music to be revealed.There will be revery.

  4. Godwin says:

    This poem tends to emphasize the importance of imaginaiton. How big a grassland could be? However,if one has rich imagination, a clover and a bee would be enough to make a beautiful prairie… And if one has revery, a clover and a bee are nt that necissary.

    i think that this poem is related to sex. A prairie is the child, a clover is the woman, and the bee is the man. i think it is a very good poem.
