Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 70. So bashful when I spied her

So bashful when I spied her,

So pretty, so ashamed!

So hidden in her leaflets,

Lest anybody find;


So breathless till I passed her,

So helpless when I turned

And bore her, struggling, blushing,

Her simple haunts beyond!


For whom I robbed the dingle,

For whom betrayed the dell,

Many will doubtless ask me,

But I shall never tell!
