Analysis of How many Flowers fail in Wood
Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)
How many Flowers fail in Wood—
Or perish from the Hill—
Without the privilege to know
That they are Beautiful—
How many cast a nameless Pod
Upon the nearest Breeze—
Unconscious of the Scarlet Freight—
It bear to Other Eyes—
