A description of the experience
Emily Dickinson – the Poems of Emily Dickinson
Good morning midnight
I’m coming home
Day got tired of me
How could I of him?
Sunshine was a sweet place
I liked to stay
But morn didn’t want me now
So goodnight day
I can look can’t I
When the east is red?
The hills have a way then
That puts the heart abroad
You are not so fair midnight
I chose day
But please take a little girl
He turned away
***********************
When night is almost done
And sunrise grows so near
That we can touch the spaces
It’s time to smooth the hair
And get the dimples ready
And wonder we could care
For that old faded midnight
That frightened but an hour
