So bashful when I spied her! by Emily Dickinson
So bashful when I spied her! So pretty -- so ashamed! So hidden in her leaflets Lest anybody find --
So breathless till I passed here -- So helpless when I turned And bore her struggling, blushing, Her simple haunts beyond!
For whom I robbed the Dingle -- For whom I betrayed the Dell -- Many, will doubtless ask me, But I shall never tell!
