A Burdock - Clawed my Gown -

- Written by Emily Dickinson.

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!
