Glowing is her Bonnet,


Glowing is her Bonnet,
Glowing is her Cheek,
Glowing is her Kirtle,
Yet she cannot speak.
Better as the Daisy
From the Summer hill
Vanish unrecorded
Save by tearful rill-
Save by loving sunrise
Looking for her face.
Save by feet unnumbered
Pausing at the place.
Emily Dickinson

Her Bonnet is glowing,
Her Cheek is glowing,
Her Kirtle is glowing,
Yet she cannot speak.
Better as the Daisy
Vanish From the Summer hill
Unrecorded
Except by tearful rill-
Except by loving sunrise
Looking for her face.
Except by unnumbered feet
Pausing at the place.
“tearful rill “ may be dewdrop in Autumn. “loving sunrise looking for her face” and “feet pausing at the place” suggest that she grows on sunny side and leaves” bulb”. She may be a perennial flower. I bet on marigold.
