A Wife 'at daybreak I shall be

uswritten by Emily Dickinson

461

A Wife at daybreak I shall be
Sunrise Hast thou a Flag for me?
At Midnight, I am but a Maid,
How short it takes to make a Bride
Then Midnight, I have passed from thee
Unto the East, and Victory

Midnight Good Night! I hear them call,
The Angels bustle in the Hall
Softly my Future climbs the Stair,
I fumble at my Childhood's prayer
So soon to be a Child no more
Eternity, I'm coming Sire,
Savior I've seen the face before!

Death sets a thing significant
The eye had hurried by,
Except a perished creature
Entreat us tenderly

Away from Home are some and I
An Emigrant to be
In a Metropolis of Homes
Is easy, possibly
The Habit of a Foreign Sky

The Court is far away
No Umpire have I
My Sovereign is offended
To gain his grace I'd die!
I'll seek his royal feet

A News express to Me
A spicy Charge, My little Posts

I learned at least what Home could be
How ignorant I had been
Of pretty ways of Covenant
How awkward at the Hymn
