poetry: Emily Dickinson

Wild Nights - Wild Nights! (249)

by Emily Dickinson

Wild Nights - Wild Nights!

Were I with thee

Wild Nights should be

Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -

To a heart in port -

Done with the compass -

Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden -

Ah, the sea!

Might I moor - Tonight -

In thee!
