by Emily Dickinson
It's all I have to bring today –
This, and my heart beside –
This, and my heart, and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count – should I forget
Some one the sum could tell –
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
Well now, that was good to read. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove Miss Emily. And I have a soft spot for this poem as well - it's so big-hearted.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Emily! We're sure glad you were born and lived. And lived.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this uplifting little poem. I'm amazed at the number of Dickinson poems that feature bees. I'm sure she'd be heartsick to read the news about Colony Collapse Disorder.
