Wild Nights! Wild Nights!

Emily Dickinson 1830 (Amherst) – 1886 (Amherst)



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 but moor
To-night in Thee!
