A Burdock—clawed my Gown
Emily Dickinson
229 A Burdock—clawed my Gown— Not Burdock’s—blame— But mine— Who went too near The Burdock’s Den— A Bog—affronts my shoe— What else have Bogs—to do— The only Trade they know— The splashing Men! Ah, pity—then! ’Tis Minnows can despise! The Elephant’s—calm eyes Look further on!
