A ROSE

A sepal, petal, and a thornUpon a common summer’s morn,A flash of dew, a bee or two,A breezeA caper in the trees,—And I’m a rose!—Emily Dickinson.

A sepal, petal, and a thorn

Upon a common summer’s morn,

A flash of dew, a bee or two,

A breeze

A caper in the trees,—

And I’m a rose!

—Emily Dickinson.
