His Feet are shod with Gauze ―


His Feet are shod with Gauze ―
His Helmet, is of Gold,
His Breast, a Single Onyx
With Chrysoprase, inlaid.

His Labor is a Chant ―
His Idleness ― a Tune ―
Oh, for a Bee’s experience
Of Clovers, and of Noon!

Emily Dickinson 

Cicada
His Feet are shod with Gauze ―
His Helmet is of Gold
Inlaid With Chrysoprase
His Breast is a Single Onyx
His Labor is a Chant ―
His Idleness is a Tune ―
Oh, for a Bee’s experience
Of Clovers, and of Noon!
Emily is not in favor with a Cicada. He never enter in her Aesop theater.
