lilly pads in Salt Lake
Poems by Emily Dickinson
Like trains of cars on tracks of plush
I hear the level bee:
A jar across the flowers goes,
Their velvet masonry
Withstands until the sweet assault
Their chivalry consumes,
While he, victorious, tilts away
To vanquish other blooms.
His feet are shod with gauze,
His helmet is of gold;
His breast, a single onyx
With chrysoprase, inlaid.
His labor is a chant,
His idleness a tune;
Oh, for a bee's experience
Of clovers and of noon!
God gave a loaf to every bird, But just a crumb to me;
I dare not eat it, though I starve,--My poignant luxury
To own it, touch it, prove the feat That made the pellet mine,
--Too happy in my sparrow chance For ampler coveting.
It might be famine all around, I could not miss an ear,
Such plenty smiles upon my board, My garner shows so fair.
I wonder how the rich may feel,--An Indiaman--an Earl?
I deem that I with but a crumb Am sovereign of them all.
