229 <br /> <br />A Burdock—clawed my Gown— <br />Not Burdock's—blame— <br />But mine— <br />Who went too near <br />The Burdock's Den— <br /> <br />A Bog—affronts my shoe— <br />What else have Bogs—to do— <br />The only Trade they know— <br />The splashing Men! <br />Ah, pity—then! <br /> <br />'Tis Minnows can despise! <br />The Elephant's—calm eyes <br />Look further on!<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-burdock-mdash-clawed-my-gown/
