May-Flower. By Emily Elizabeth Dickinson

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.
