'Twould ease -- a Butterfly --

by Emily Dickinson

'Twould ease -- a Butterfly --

Elate -- a Bee --

Thou'rt neither --

Neither -- thy capacity --

But, Blossom, were I,

I would rather be

Thy moment

Than a Bee's Eternity --

Content of fading

Is enough for me --

Fade I unto Divinity --

And Dying -- Lifetime --

Ample as the Eye --

Her least attention raise on me --
