Analysis of Angels, in the early morning

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



Angels, in the early morning
May be seen the Dews among,
Stooping—plucking—smiling-flying—
Do the Buds to them belong?

Angels, when the sun is hottest
May be seen the sands among,
Stooping—plucking—sighing-flying—
Parched the flowers they bear along.
