“MORNING” means “Milking” to the Farmer | ||||
Dawn to the Apennines— | ||||
Dice to the Maid. | ||||
“Morning” means just Chance to the Lover— | ||||
Just Revelation to the Beloved. | 5 | |||
Epicures date a breakfast by it! | ||||
Heroes a battle, | ||||
The Miller a flood, | ||||
Faint-going eyes their lapse | ||||
From sighing, | 10 | |||
Faith, the Experiment of our Lord! |
Emily Dickinson, The single Hound XXXVII
