Analysis of The Veins of other Flowers

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



The Veins of other Flowers
The Scarlet Flowers are
Till Nature leisure has for Terms
As "Branch," and "Jugular."

We pass, and she abides.
We conjugate Her Skill
While She creates and federates
Without a syllable.
