TESTO DEL LIED

"With the first Arbutus"
di Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.
(With the first Arbutus.)
