THE BEE IS NOT AFRAID OF ME by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Wherefore, O summer's day?
Subject(s): NATURE;
The bee is not afraid of me,
I know the butterfly ;
The pretty people in the woods
Receive me cordially.

The brooks laugh louder when I come,
The breezes madder play.
Wherefore, mine eyes, thy silver mists?
Wherefore, O summer's day?
