"Perhaps you ’d like to buy a flower"

IV.

Perhaps you'd like to buy a flower ? But I could never sell. If you would like to borrow Until the daffodil Unties her yellow bonnet Beneath the village door, Until the bees, from clover rows Their hock and sherry draw, Why, I will lend until just then, But not an hour more !

 

from Poems by Emily Dickinson (1890)
Why?	"The pedigree of honey"
