Emily Dickinson - A sepal, petal, and a thorn

A sepal, petal, and a thorn
Upon a common summer's morn --
A flask of Dew -- A Bee or two --
A Breeze -- a caper in the trees --
And I'm a Rose!

This poem is about how the world sees her. She is nice to look at, but people are afraid to get too close least they prick themselves on her thorny exterior. She is alone, but not nesecarily unhappy about the situation.
