【正确答案】正确答案:By analyzing the symbols of this short poem, we can understand that this poem speaks of the power of the mind, specifically the power of dreams. A prairie has fertile soil. To create a prairie symbolizes to create a large growing space that is fertile. The clover or the bee is a small start or something to fertilize or to pollinate the prairie. The repetition of the clover and the bee is to emphasis that small things can also have great creative power. The revery is the key word in this poem. Revery means daydream, but "The revery alone will do" means a dream is powerful enough to motivate big achievement. Even "If bees are few" , that is, even if other "pollinators" are not available, the power of dream would be big enough. Above all, in this poem, Dickinson illustrates magnificent achievement realized from nearly infinitesimal beginnings, and the force of inspiration that drives such achievement.
