Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems

Part Three: Nature 2. Will there really be a morning?

OUT OF THE MORNING.


Will there really be a morning?

Is there such a thing as day?

Could I see it from the mountains

If I were as tall as they?


Has it feet like water-lilies?

Has it feathers like a bird?

Is it brought from famous countries

Of which I have never heard?


Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!

Oh, some wise man from the skies!

Please to tell a little pilgrim

Where the place called morning lies!
