Show Description
Joyce DiDonato | Discovering Emily | 8. "A bee I personally knew"
A single Clover Plank
Was all that saved a Bee
A Bee I personally knew
From sinking in the sky --
'Twixt Firmament above
And Firmament below
The Billows of Circumference
Were sweeping him away --
The idly swaying Plank
Responsible to nought
A sudden Freight of Wind assumed
And Bumble Bee was not --
This harrowing event
Transpiring in the Grass
Did not so much as wring from him
A wandering "Alas" --

I know this first tour of “Emily — No Prisoner Be” has finished - but I apparently cannot. Just yet. I want to post two more videos before I pause the series, but I shall happily resume for our next round of concerts in August! Besides, just as in the concert, this Bee Scherzo might just give your brain the perfect cleanse, which we could all certainly use right about now! Enjoy the extraordinary world of Emily + Time for Three.
Emily — No Prisoner Be is a new theatrical song-cycle from Kevin Puts, blending classical mastery with rock energy in a vivid reimagining of Emily Dickinson’s poetic universe. Album out now.
