Emily Poem

Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,

Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.

Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.

This Emily Dickinson poem is very unique in the way she expresses her feelings about nature. My favorite line from this would be "next to the robin, in every human soul" because it shows the connection between nature and humans and how we live together in harmony. A word I enjoy that she uses is "antiquity" at the end. It ties everything together very well. This poem is called May-Flower.
