Abstract
A transcription of "I said 'but just to be a bee'." The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Emily Dickinson's poems produced by Mabel Loomis Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd's own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. "Could I but ride" is written in pencil on the upper left. Other notations are written in pencil on the transcript. Two lines beginning with the line "I dreaded that first robin so" are written on the reverse and crossed out. This transcript may relate to Emily Dickinson's manuscript "Could I but ride indefinite" (Amherst Manuscript set 88) in this collection.
