AS IF SOME LITTLE ARCTIC FLOWER by EMILY DICKINSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Only, your inference therefrom!
Subject(s): FLOWERS;
As if some little Arctic flower
Upon the polar hem -
Went wandering down the Latitudes
Until it puzzled came
To continents of summer -
To firmaments of sun -
To strange, bright crowds of flowers -
And birds, of foreign tongue!
I say, As if this little flower
To Eden, wandered in -
What then? Why nothing,
Only, your inference therefrom!
