About This Poem

Emily Dickinson

 Part III
#VII

Emily Dickinson sails the vast seas
of passion for her love, yet with humility.
Love and Loneliness express the scene
becoming a part of each other. 
Here she sees herself as a simple
flower needed by her lover to wear 
as a corsage. This will keep her 
close to his heart.

She hides within the flower so
humbly. There is nothing flashy 
about this sacred bud. By wearing
the corsage on his breast he keeps 
his love close to her heart.  By 
forming herself as his flower 
there is also a secretiveness
that he knows not of. Yet, then
she ends that her unsuspected
feelings result in a longing
for love.
