Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 55. Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower?

Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower?

But I could never sell.

If you would like to borrow

Until the daffodil


Unties her yellow bonnet

Beneath the village door,

Until the bees, from clover rows

Their hock and sherry draw,


Why, I will lend until just then,

But not an hour more!
