A Bee his burnished carriage [French translation]

A Bee his burnished Carriage

Drove boldly to a Rose —

Combinedly alighting —

Himself — his Carriage was —

The Rose received his visit

With frank tranquillity

Withholding not a Crescent

To his Cupidity —

Their Moment consummated —

Remained for him — to flee —

Remained for her — of rapture

But the humility.

• Artist:Emily Dickinson
