Nature
Good morning, Midnight!
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
Nature
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 good night, 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!
