I Have Not Told My Garden Yet

Title:     I Have Not Told My Garden Yet
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I have not told my garden yet,
Lest that should conquer me;
I have not quite the strength now
To break it to the bee.

I will not name it in the street,
For shops would stare, that I,
So shy, so very ignorant,
Should have the face to die.

The hillsides must not know it,
Where I have rambled so,
Nor tell the loving forests
The day that I shall go,

Nor lisp it at the table,
Nor heedless by the way
Hint that within the riddle
One will walk to-day!

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: I Have Not Told My Garden Yet
