BEES by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: BEES ARE BLACK, WITH GILT SURCINGLES
Last Line: JUGS - A UNIVERSE'S FRACTURE %COULD NOT JAR OR SPILL
Subject(s): BEES; INSECTS;
Bees are Black, with Gilt Surcingles -
Buccaneers of Buzz.
Ride abroad in ostentation
And subsist on Fuzz.


Fuzz ordained - not Fuzz contingent -
Marrows of the Hill.
Jugs - a Universe's fracture
Could not jar or spill.
