To Make a Prairie Emily Dickinson To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, 去造一个草原 需要一株三叶草和一只蜜蜂 ， One clover and a bee, 一株三叶草和一只蜜蜂 ， And revery. 还有梦。 Revery alone will do, 单靠梦也行。 If bees are few. 如果蜜蜂不多 。 This little poem expresses Dickinson’s continuing love affair with the spiritual level of being.
