To this World she returned.

To this World she returned.
But with a tinge of that —
A Compound manner,
As a Sod
Espoused a Violet,
That chiefer to the Skies
Than to himself, allied,
Dwelt hesitating, half of Dust,
And half of Day, the Bride.

Emily Dickinson

Daisy

She returned to this World.
But with a tinge of that —
A Compound manner,
As a Sod wed a Violet,
That allied to the Skies
Rather than to her husband,
The Bride dwelled hesitating
Half of Dust and half of Day.

Emily’s ironical observation of Daisy, the symbol of Chastity.
