She dwelleth in the Ground —

She dwelleth in the Ground —
Where Daffodils — abide —
Her Maker — Her Metropolis —
The Universe — Her Maid —

To fetch Her Grace — and Hue —
And Fairness — and Renown —
The Firmament’s — To Pluck Her —
And fetch Her Thee — be mine —

Emily Dickinson

A Water Lily

She dwells in the Ground (under water)—
Where Daffodils — float—
She is brought by Her pond —
The Universe  helps Her grow —

To fetch Her Grace — and Hue —
And Fairness — and Renown —
Be the Firmament’s duty—
To Pluck Her —And fetch Her Thee —
be my duty —
