So bashful when I spied her
"So bashful when I spied her" is a short Emily Dickinson poem that follows a speaker who discovers a shy, blushing creature hidden among her leaflets. Tension builds as the speaker, breathless and helpless, carries her away from her simple haunts. Playful and coy, the poem hints at a stolen treasure from the dingle and the dell, and ends with a teasing refusal to name the one it was all done for.
