Bee! I’m expecting you!
Was saying Yesterday
To Somebody you know
That you were due —
The Frogs got Home last Week —
Are settled, and at work —
Birds, mostly back —
The Clover warm and thick —
You’ll get my Letter by
The seventeenth; Reply
Or better, be with me —
Yours, Fly.

I sorta agree with the crush theory. It makes sense. She has seen that spring has come and maybe she get’s a yearly maybe monthly visit from someone. Maybe he is late and she is wondering why. She talks about how the frogs are home and working, how the birds have come back but he is late. I don’t know. I could be wrong.

i think bee! I’m Expecting You! is a metaphor for bomeone who’s asking a freind for help because of al of the trouble going on around him.
