The Wind

by Emily Dickinson · (no date)
Published 01/07/1880

IT's like the light,—

      A fashionless delight

It's like the bee,—

      A dateless melody.


It's like the woods,

      Private like breeze,

Phraseless, yet it stirs

      The proudest trees.


It's like the morning,—

      Best when it's done,—

The everlasting clocks

      Chime noon.
