Dickinson, Emily: Burdock — clawed my Gown — 229

Burdock — clawed my Gown —
Not Burdock's — blame —
But mine —
Who went too near
The Burdock's Den —

A Bog — affronts my shoe —
What else have Bogs — to do —
The only Trade they know —
The splashing Men!
Ah, pity — then!

'Tis Minnows can despise!
The Elephant's — calm eyes
Look further on!
