It’s all I have to bring today
by Emily Dickinson
It’s all I have to bring today –
This, and my heart beside –
This, and my heart, and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count – should I forget
Some one the sum could tell –
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.

hmmmmm – let’s see the symbolic analogies here that tie into why you selected this poem…
1. clover… irish
2. bees… birds
3. meadows wide… uh, let’s not go there you slut puppy!
heh! thanks for the morning giggle Lila-doll.

The title struck me first – as you forego your own works for someone elses. Clever! You can never go wrong with Dickinson. I shared a Millay poem a few weeks ago.

I posted an Emily Dickinson poem as well, but I hope to have something finished in time for next week.
