Analysis of Some such Butterfly be seen
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
Some such Butterfly be seen
On Brazilian Pampas—
Just at noon—no later—Sweet—
Then—the License closes—
Some such Spice—express and pass—
Subject to Your Plucking—
As the Stars—You knew last Night—
Foreigners—This Morning—
