" "So bashful when I spied her!
So pretty — so ashamed!
So hidden in her leaflets
Lest anybody find — So breathless till I passed her — So helpless when I turned
And bore her struggling, blushing,
Her simple haunts beyond!
For whom I robbed the Dingle — For whom betrayed the Dell — Many, will doubtless ask me,
But I shall never tell!

About Emily Dickinson
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Virtually unknown in her lifetime, Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the greatest American poets of the 19th century. Although she wrote (at latest count) 1789 poems, only a few of them were published in her lifetime, all anonymously, and some perhaps without her knowledge.
