It's all I have to bring today
by Emily Dickinson
It's all I have to bring today –
This, and my heart beside –
This, and my heart, and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count – should I forget
Some one the sum could tell –
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
Honestly, what first drew me to this poem was its length. It is short, but more importantly it does contain a lot of depth and meaning. I think Emily Dickinson is justing saying that everything she has to offer, which is herself and her heart. Along with her love she has to offer all of nature that surrounds her. Within these eight lines, Dickinson is expressing everything she has to offer someone; whether it is a boyfriend, friend, or family member.
