(st.1)
The Grass so little has
to do
A Sphere of simple Green
With only Butterflies, to brood,
And Bees, to entertain * * *
(st.5)
And then, in Sovereign
Barns to dwell
And dream the Days away,
The Grass so little has
to do
I wish I were a
Hay
~ Emily Dickinson (original manuscript version without editing or imposed lineation) (J-0333: stanzas 1 & 5) (F-0379-A)
