MAY-FLOWER. Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.

If I read this correctly Emily Dickinson is writing a poem about her love for the natural beauty of a mayflower. She describes the appearance, general location, and how it appears during the months of spring.
