Dickinson, Emily. Wild Nights—Wild Nights!

Emily Dickinson

Wild Nights—Wild Nights! c. 1861

Wild Nights—Wild Nights!

Were I with thee

Wild Nights should be

Our luxury!

Futile—the Winds—5

To a Heart in port—

Done with the Compass—

Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden—

Ah, the Sea! 10

Might I but moor—Tonight—

In Thee!
