Цветов красою
я смущена,
жалеть лишь стоит,-
что не пчела...
[About late spring 1864, beginning a note to Aunt Lucretia Bullard,
said to have been in response to a gift of wisteria when ED was
in Cambridge for eye treatment.
Recipient: Lucretia Gunn Dickinson Bullard]

embarrass me --
They make me regret
