To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,

One clover, and a bee,

And revery.

The revery alone will do,

If bees are few.

Emily Dickinson, 1775

A folk remedy for cancer, a nitrogen fixer for the soil, cheerful and sweet to the taste, rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, vitamins A, B & C, red clover is everyone’s friend. I include it in our menopause tincture as it contains isoflavones that act similarly to estrogen.
