Summer for thee, grant I may be

Summer for thee, grant I may be
When Summer days are flown!
Thy music still, when Whipporwill
And Oriole－are done!

For thee to bloom, I’ll skip the tomb
And row my blossoms o'er!
Pray gather me－
Anemone－
Thy flower－forevermore!

Emily Dickinson

Trivial riddle: Anemone

I may be grant your summer
When summer days are leaving!
Your quite music, when Whipporwill
And Oriole－are finished!

For you to bloom, I’ll skip the tomb
And quarrel with my daisies!
Pray pick up me－
Anemone－
Your flower is eternal

* Whipporwill and Oriole are active in summer.
* “my flower” is likely to be a daisy, common in the cemetery.
* Anemone is of Mediterranean origin, so hates hot summer: Summer flower in Autumn.
