I think this poem represents a life cycle...the roses blooming symbolize a
birth...the violets dying are death.. The bumblebees passing beyond the sun
seems to be fulfilling ones life, completing a goal. And then eventually
comes death; the hands picking the flowers represent death of the
flowers...which is death of a life to emilys comparison

I believe Emily Dickinson's "Roses Cease to Bloom" is about a death of the
capitalized "Sir".

I think Emily has given us the end result to the "Roses are red, violets
are blue"...eventually the red roses/blue violets die...
In this poem, Emily's praying for God ("When Roses cease to bloom, Sir"

"When roses cease to bloom" Dickinson is using flowers/nature to exemplify
beauty and life. When these two elements cease she wishes to cease as well.
Asking the hand that gave her life to take it away.

I think she wrote this as a way to tell others to not pick flowers. She
says at the end that then they can take them, only once they stop blooming.
