Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

May-Flower

Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
 
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
 
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.

The Blue Jay

No brigadier throughout the year So civic as the jay. A neighbor and a warrior too, With shrill felicity Pursuing winds that censure us
