Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924. |
Part One: Life XXIX |
| THE NEAREST dream recedes, unrealized. | |
| The heaven we chase | |
| Like the June bee | |
| Before the school-boy | |
| Invites the race; | 5 |
| Stoops to an easy clover— | |
| Dips—evades—teases—deploys; | |
| Then to the royal clouds | |
| Lifts his light pinnace | |
| Heedless of the boy | 10 |
| Staring, bewildered, at the mocking sky. | |
| Homesick for steadfast honey, | |
| Ah! the bee flies not | |
| That brews that rare variety. |
