Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Four: Time and Eternity 65. Essential oils are wrung

Essential oils are wrung:

The attar from the rose

Is not expressed by suns alone,

It is the gift of screws.


The general rose decays;

But this, in lady's drawer,

Makes summer when the lady lies

In ceaseless rosemary.
