To make a prairie by Emily Dickinson and Pamela Dalton

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,--

One clover, and a bee,

And revery. 

The revery alone will do

If bees are few.

                             --Emily Dickinson

Not knowing when the dawn will come

I open every door;

Or has it feather like a bird,

Or billows like a shore?

                               --Emily Dickinson
