The Mind
Some say Good Night at night,
From Further Poems of Emily Dickinson (1929)
The Mind
Some say Good Night at night,
I say Good Night by day,
Good-by—the going utter me—
Good Night I still reply.
For parting—that is night
And presence simply dawn,
Itself the purple on the height
Denominated Morn.
