When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,


When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,
And Violets are done-
When Bumblebees in solemn flight
Have passed beyond the Sun-
The hand that paused to gather
Upon this Summer’s day
Will idle lie-in Auburn-
Then take my flowers-pray!
Emily Dickinson
Bee without job
When Roses end to bloom, my Lord,
And Violets are finished-
When Bumblebees in solemn flight
Have gone faraway-
The worker that paused to gather
On this Summer’s day
Will lie idle-in Autumn-
Please take my flowers!
Emily says that Bee must be busy! He would lose his skill, if jobless.  Come on to gather honey from my flower.
