Assignment #12

I hide myself within my flower


I hide myself within my flower,
That fading from your Vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me—
Almost a loneliness. 

The poem is about the way Emily felt about people around her. From far away you can see how beautiful a flower is just like she wanted people to see her. She never wanted to be close enough to show the real her, like if she was in a vase.
