"Morning" means "Milking" to the Farmer

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

Dawn to the Apennines—

Dice to the Maid.

"Morning" means just Chance to the Lover—

Just Revelation to the Beloved.

Epicures date a breakfast by it!

Heroes a battle,

The Miller a flood,

Faint-going eyes their lapse

From sighing,

Faith, the Experiment of our Lord!
