Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part Two: Nature XI |
| PIGMY seraphs gone astray, | |
| Velvet people from Vevay, | |
| Belles from some lost summer day, | |
| Bees’ exclusive coterie. | |
| Paris could not lay the fold | 5 |
| Belted down with emerald; | |
| Venice could not show a cheek | |
| Of a tint so lustrous meek. | |
| Never such an ambuscade | |
| As of brier and leaf displayed | 10 |
| For my little damask maid. | |
| I had rather wear her grace | |
| Than an earl’s distinguished face; | |
| I had rather dwell like her | |
| Than be Duke of Exeter, | 15 |
| Royalty enough for me | |
| To subdue the bumble-bee! |
