Emily Dickinson - Non-Music, Poetry (Literature)

I had no Cause to be awake (542)

2 Plays

I had no Cause to be awake— My Best—was gone to sleep— And Morn a new politeness took— And failed to wake them up— But called the others—clear— And passed their Curtains by— Sweet Morning—when I oversleep— Knock—Recollect—to Me— I looked at Sunrise—Once— And then I looked at Them— And wishfulness in me arose— For Circumstance the same— 'Twas such an Ample Peace— It could not hold a Sigh— 'Twas Sabbath—with the Bells divorced— 'Twas Sunset—all the Day— So choosing but a Gown— And taking but a Prayer— The only Raiment I should need— I struggled—and was There—
