To Buy A Flower
Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower?
But I could never sell.
If you would like to borrowUntil the daffodil
Unties her yellow bonnet
Beneath the village door,
Until the bees, from clover rows
Their hock and sherry draw,
Why, I will lend until just then,
But not an hour more!
This poem just makes me smile when I first read it, because it feels like she is somewhat tricking you ina way. But I do not know why I feel like that, but anyway to me the poem is telling us that a flower or a person that is so beautiful, one would love to show it off. But to really love it you would not just let it sit out for people to watch away the beauty o it. They only let you borrow it for just some time.
Very nice!
